EDITORIAL: 'Fairness' is censorship

The Fairness Doctrine is just another Democrat driven oxymoronic resolution. What exactly is fair about telling people what they have to say and what they have to listen too? It's like approving carbon cap legislation and then demanding more gas mileage from vehicles? Choking and engine reduces efficiency which reduces gas mileage. This should be titled oxymoronic legislation and it should be analyzed and stopped. It's no wonder congressional approval ratings are at 18%.

I have been feeling for quite some time that the Democrat party is attempting to turn this country into a Dictatorship. What better proof that regulating our free speech?

We all know who this is aimed at. I would be willing to bet that if this was ever put into law, NPR would be exempt and Rush would be forced to SIRIUS.

I worked in radio when we were in fear of The Fairness Doctrine. We ran the most banal talk, public affairs and editorial content so as to avoid having to give airtime to "opposing viewpoints." This is NOT what radio should be, living in fear of the government. There are so many choices available today. It's obvious the Democrats don't like variety when it skewers them. We didn't fight for our independence and fight World Wars so a political party could shut up their opposition. Fight the power!

Fairness is CBS's Katie Couric putting Rush Limbaugh on for a quick segment. I saw how quickly CBS dropped that. As long as I make the call, I am all for this. Its about time someone made ABC/CBS/NBC nightly "news" fair. NPR could use a bit of restructuring too. That's what we are talking about isn't it? Fixing the obvious bias in the "mainstream media"? When do I start?

News flash to liberals: Radio is no longer the primary source of news and entertainment in America. If you want "fairness" in radio programming and commentary, I suggest you start your own radio network. Oh, wait, you tried that and failed, didn't you?

Soxconn, I believe approval of the Democrat run congress is down to 12 per cent. This should translate to votin' the bums out in November. But, our betters assure us the communistcrats will pick up many more seats and the incompetent racist Obama will be our president to "change" us back to the same old failed Dem programs. It's puzzling.
