If Obama Wins we will get “Fairness”
That’s what liberals call it anyways. The Fairness Doctrine is an outdated totalitarian tool of state that is ostensibly about “equal time.” They want us to believe it is about Rush Limbaugh getting one hour and then giving Al Sharpton an hour for rebuttal - or whatever.
But don’t we already have that ad nauseum? Anyone can sign up for a free blog account and rant all day long if they want to. There are hundreds of channels, thousands of newspapers, and millions of podcasts. If you want to get heard you have a forum.
The real reason for reenacting the “Fairness” Doctrine is to shut down people like Rush Limbaugh. He has pissed off every single liberal on the planet and many republicans as well. And he has a massive audience.
If Rush gets shut down then our all-hallowed governmental officials will have a lot less to worry about. No longer will their idiotic statements and foolish governmental boondoggles be aired for three hours a day, five days a week to millions of Americans.
Oh, about Obama. According to John Gizzi from Human Events in an article titled Pelosi Supports ‘Fairness Doctrine”:
The speaker of the House made it clear to me and more than forty of my colleagues yesterday that a bill by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Ind.) to outlaw the “Fairness Doctrine” (which a liberal administration could use to silence Rush Limbaugh, other radio talk show hosts and much of the new alternative media) would not see the light of day in Congress during ’08. In ruling out a vote on Pence’s proposed Broadcaster’s Freedom Act, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-CA.) also signaled her strong support for revival of the “Fairness Doctrine” — which would require radio station owners to provide equal time to radio commentary when it is requested.
Duh. They’re not going to bring this up at all this year. It would be a simple issue that would serve as a lightning rod against Obama. But, the second he gets situated in the Oval Office and the democrats have a veto-proof majority in the Senate then all bets are off.
Well, there is one good thing about the “Fairness Doctrine.” All you libs won’t have to trash your disappearing rights mugs. You can recycle them by giving them to your conservative friends. BigT
