the beginnings of suppression from the Left......notice the underpinings, nationalized control of resources....dictation on content, suppression of speech that the Left does not tolerate....
How is giving the public MORE information on ONLY CRITICAL PUBLIC ISSUES suppression of speech?
sounds like doubletalk to me, set out to deceive.
the fairness doctrine DOES NOT force the stations to have another talk show of liberals to combat a talk show of conservatives or visa versa...
the fairness doctrine requires broadcast stations that are leasing our airways from the public, to service the public with pertinent information to the public.
As example, let's say the guy that owns ALL the radio stations with the farthest reach, also owns the town's football team....
And this owner is persuing the gvt for them to build him a new stadium that will cost the tax payers a near billion in their money to build a new football stadium for the guy...
this radio station owner would be required by the fairness doctrine to report BOTH SIDES of this issue so that the public can be well informed on the issue before it is voted on....and the broadcast radio guy would be prevented from ONLY GIVING his point on the issue that would benefit him greatly while possibly hurting the public....by making their taxes go up to pay for his stadium.
