Reply #16: I disagree with most DU'ers on the Fairness Doctrine... [View All]

"By some estimates, conservatives on talk radio dominate liberals by a ratio of 10-to-1, hence the call by some liberals to bring back the Fairness Doctrine."

I think there is truth to this. I don't think we should pass legislation on certain issues simply because we don't have the upper hand on them. Congress's time and money should be spent on reviving the economy, implementing renewables, etc. I highly doubt we would care if we had a 10-1 advantage, and any Dem who believes we would should really stop and consider whether they're being honest with themselves.

If we really want to address this issue, why don't we try to determine why our message isn't selling over the airwaves and why the Repukes have that 10-1 advantage? Just passing laws doesn't address the issue.
