Reply #9: Ugh, just let it die. Obama doesn't want it. Radio is the past, the net is the future. [View All]

This was a terribly lopsided article, and wouldn't have been out of place at some right wing website. The author did everything he could to frighten people about the scary return of the "Fairness Doctrine", but barely mentioned that Obama actively opposes it, as do MOST LIBERALS. They know that we don't live in the 1980s anymore, but a media environment with many more choices. It won't be long before you'll have not just satellite radio in your car, but internet radio, where anyone will be able to compete.

The only people trying to make the "Fairness Doctrine" an issue are the Limbaughs and the Medveds, who know it's a great bugaboo to use to rile up their audience and make them believe that Democrats are evil. The joke is on them, though, because the Fairness Doctrine ain't comin' back, and talk radio is already irrelevant, as this election year proved.
