Fairness Doctrine
If Congress and the White House succeed in its attempts to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine, the First Amendment will finally draw its last breath.
Fairness Doctrine
You only have to look to Hitler and Goebbels, and examine what they were able to do by influencing public opinion toward the acceptance of evil.
Limbaugh, Hannity, etc, etc, are in the same mold.
FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
The re-introduction of the Fairness Doctrine is nothing but an attempt by the Left to silence their Rightwing critics. No matter how you look at it, it is an outright attack on the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution - the right to freedom of expression.
