3. No, we need the fairness doctrine or better for the future.
We have to hit everything. And, they do have internet presence. People just are not believing them even though they do have better funded graphics. This will change. People will forget. Dems will rebuild the economy, and then they will return, steal the media and steal the property once again years from now.

Our problem in getting information out has been that we did not have a media outlet for Gore and Kerry. They piled Gore's lies, and we could not respond that they were fabricating those lies. Air America helps. But, it will wane as people forget how angry they are now. And its coverage is sporadic, bad quality signal, and poorly administered at the local station level.

We need to be alongside them no matter how much money they have to push us away in whatever medium they use.

The internet is great, but unless we make it possible for everyone the way we made electricity available everywhere, it will remain a great thing for some and not all voters. We miss coverage in rural areas specifically because we do not have the fairness doctrine.

As long as we have media that is full, like FM and AM, we need a fairness doctrine to let other sides of stories speak, because they'll be back.
