[...] Indeed they might. Follow the link up top and see what the results were for applying the Doctrine to the Internet. Way closer than it should be, which is bad news for free speech and terrible news, potentially, for the nutroots’ online advantage. [...]

When is someone going to look into Ms. Fairness Doctrine’s votes to make her husband richer than he already is? Do we have to wait two years like Jefferson? This woman is a criminal and should be wearing an orange jump suit and doing time!

[...] Considering what Diane Feinstein said about talk radio today and reviving the fairness doctrine….. FEINSTEIN: Well, in my view, talk radio tends to be one-sided. It also tends to be dwelling in hyperbole. It’s explosive. It pushes people to, I think, extreme views without a lot of information. [...]

Come on, now, something must be done. It can’t possibly be the Liberals’ fault that their radio hosts are so awful that not even fellow Liberals want to listen to them. We simply must be too stupid to comprehend their lofty ideals. Ms. Feinstein is just trying to help us, as we can’t do anything without the Government holding our hand and leading the way. /snark

Unfortunately the [un]Fairness Doctrine only applies to radio – not print media, not network news, only talk radio. It is deliberately aimed at the people who actually discuss the issues with their listeners as opposed to tell them what to think (MSM).

‘pushes people to extreme views without a lot of information’
Sounds like she’s talking about CNN and the New York Times here. Thank goodness we have an offset to the liberal dinosaur media or we would truly be lost. Seems fair to me. I don’t even listen to talk radio, I’m all about the blogs. I wonder how she proposes to make the internet ‘fair’?

How much does anyone want to bet that somewhere in the background, George Soros is actually the one who is orchestrating this sudden revival of interest in the Fairness Doctrine?

Drudge had a caller last night say that she believes that Congress is bringing up the Fairness Doctrine to distract talk radio from the amnesty bill.

Plausible?

There needs to be a new generation of Republican leadership come forward that will take it to the arrogant socialist Democrats such as Feinstein. Enactment of the Fairness Doctrine today would be nothing less than a selective attack on conservative talk radio, which is one of the most vibrant parts of our free society. There is no need for the Fairness Doctrine with all the altenative print, broadcast and internet media available, and the Fairness Doctrine would get the Government involved in content regulation, which is wholly contrary to basic First Amendment values.

Trent Lott’s attempt to lie his way out of the fairness doctrine was feeble at best. Finestein, on the other hand, made no attempt to hide her contempt for talk radio. She, in her omnipotence, proved without a doubt what is wrong with Congress as it is now. She does not and will not listen to the voters. Being a liberal, she really does not feel others that are not on her self conceived level can decide for themselves. She had so much contempt for the average American that she has blatantly broken several federal laws that would make Duke Cunningham look like a pimp.

When you look at Air America, you have to see that they had to buy time rather than earn it compared to conservative radio stations. Now that Air America is losing, them and the democrats want to pull everyone else down with them to.

When is Lott up for reelection? Why do we listen to him and his ilk? No surprise from Feinstein and her compadres in the DNC. Fairness Doctrine reemergence is their new talking point, and won’t go away after the shamnesty bill.
