The "Fairness Doctrine" was an FCC policy that required radio stations to offer "equal time" for both the left and the right. Totalitarians in the US are calling for it to be reinstated. In fact though, it is a direct violation of freedom of speech and property rights.

Since I was partialy responsable for mutilating and hijacking this thread in a comment up a little ways, I guess I should put a serious response. I am not so worried about the fairness doctrine now as I am "localism", it is a back door for the very same function of the fairness doctrine and it was something I warned about last year, well, it is now starting to rear it's ugly head again. look in to it, it's sneaky.

Localism is just the "fairness doctrine" all repackaged into a liberal lie.

I completely agree. IT is unconstitutional. But sense when has that stopped our government??
Has this thing reared its ugly head again?
Last I heard it was not going to be pushed forward anytime soon.

I agree. The ironically named "fairness doctrine" is incredibly un-American. Having said that, I don't think the Democrats have the political capital to get something like this passed again, or so I certainly hope.
