the fairness doctrine is obviously fair since it is in their name. And obviously the talk radio is unfair because the people who support the fairness doctrine do not think it is fair.

PBS firing conservatives is fair because it is supported by the fairness doctrine supporters. CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, NY times are all obviously fair because people who support them also support the fairness doctrine

Y'know, Ep, sometimes you make really good points, and sometimes you type meaningless, self-contradictory drivel, the above being an excellent example of the latter.

that was sarcasm it was intended to be contradictory drivel.


People who support the fairness doctrine are obviously deluded into believing that conservative talk radio has a monopoly on things and is now driving from their ivory towers the pure propaganda of the party line People are forced to listen to them because there are no other outlets.

Obviously this is false. One can make it look like it though. Simply look at talk radio as if it is the only source of news and you will find a decidedly conservative bent. Reality though is that Media is way bigger than talk radio.

Talk radio is but one small facet of out media input.

In the 80’s the liberal pov had a near 100% lock on all media (Hollywood, Network television, most of print media and many magazines all most cable channels, FM radio mostly… are owned by a liberal perspective. ) and now

The federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting helped find a new distributor" for the film "after seven Republican members of Congress and one Democrat demanded that CPB ask PBS to air it or release it elsewhere."

(from combats' link above)

Sounds like the only way to get congress to do something is to make a film.

I guess I'm a facist. Conservatives like to throw around scary words like that, its just apart of what they do.

yeah liberals never threw around a scary word
