Will The Fairness Doctrine Silence The Conservative Voice as well as others?
Will 2009 usher in a fanatical push to re-instate the so-called Fairness Doctrine? Such a move would effectively silence the conservative voice and remove the last conservative stronghold against a fast-moving liberal agenda.
One need only read the words of Dianne Feinstein to see the true threat to conservative speech that is brewing on the horizon!
“Talk radio tends to be one-sided. It also tends to be dwelling in hyperbole. It’s xplosive. It pushes people to, I think, extreme views without a lot of information … I’m looking at the [Fairness Doctrine]…Unfortunately, talk radio is overwhelmingly one way.â€

So, tell me then, Ms. Feinstein. Would the Fairness Doctrine have made Air America a hit?
In the free marketplace of ideas, AA was an abysmal failure. Why? Because NO ONE WANTED TO HEAR THEIR DRIVEL.
If talk radio is so one sided, it’s mostly because the right wing hosts have the largest audience. And, they can speak coherently without spraying foam, froth and spittle across the sound booth as they hyperventilate.

It may have worked for Air America if they were forced by law to cover conservative views.
It would make the USA more like Canada where Rush Limbaugh would have been shut down decades ago.
The internet will set us free.

That’s right. You’re free to say whatever they say is okay for you to say.
