We live in a society where we want competion of products ideas etc. Why would Democrats want their views force upon the public afterall they tried talk radio which requires people to listen and gives feedback from their audience and no one wanted to listen to them. By forcing their views on conservatives isn't this a indirect way of trying to kill off a medium that has given voices to people that do not follow the liberal doctrine?

word smith 4 you You make no sense I understand why you are a liberal. If I saw a person with a good product by job is not to try and get the government to give me a piece of that person action, but to try and make a better product and compete head to head with them. I guess when you are a liberal you see something inherrently wrong with that?

It's a complete violation of the First Amendment.

I definitely think that many liberals think it will. In reality what it will do is limit political commentary across the board. Big shows like Limbaugh will survive without issue, but there will not be a variety of new shows created, liberal or conservative and many marginal shows will be removed entirely. The reason behind this is because when faced with trying to implement all that the "Fairness Doctrine" requires, most content providers will choose not to provide political content at all, or will scale it down to a very limited format, rather than undertake the balancing act and notification processes required.

Yes. They want absolute tyranny on the airwaves, with no conservative balance to the liberal talking heads on almost every TV network. Even Fox has a good share of libs on their team (Great van Susteren and Alan Colmes are the two best known). It's not our fault that American's don't like liberal talk radio. They had a shot with "Air America" but it wasn't able to get the type of listenership that conservative talk radio got, so they went bankrupt. Why should the government force something down our throats that can't work in a free economy???

it somewhat is a company... if human beings wanted to hearken to liberal communicate radio, Air u.s. does not have failed. this is not any longer approximately being liberal or conservative, this is purely that conservative communicate radio does greater helpful than liberal communicate radio. this is not any longer political and communicate radio should not be censored. to boot, in the event that they actually listened to Limbaugh or Savage they might discover that they are no longer a hundred% partisan... Savage hates everybody the two and Limbaugh is going against the Republican social gathering line each now and then. they supply their very own evaluations, no longer a conservative schedule. (And by the way, i will't stand the two) I hate the "fairness" Doctrine. And MSNBC is greater biased than Fox information! (look it up! Pew analyze!)

I see nothing wrong with the part about having to inform a person or an organization that you are attacking them as for the rest of it I agree it is wrong.
Just as a side note Trent Lott is also an idiot who hates talk radio. Might want to take him into consideration with the Democrats who support this.

It seems to me that no matter who you are or what side of the political fence you are on that this is a bad idea...if I want to listen to liberal radio then I should be able to. If I want to hear conservative views, then that should be available to me because this is America in case we have forgotten.
We should have a bigger voice than we do...

By George, I think he's got it!
Seems to be a lot of flap about more conservative views. I think it came from the same people who brought us political correctness. ( Yuck)
Why don't libs just start their own radio stations? We will see who tunes in. Meanwhile, CNN brow beats us with their "balanced" views.
News is one thing -Talk radio is something else.

Many would completely shut down the other point of view if they could but that pesky little freedom of speech keeps getting in the way.
Talk radio is feared by some because they dig deep into issues, instead of skimming the surface.
Great question...

This country's founding fathers tried something similar 200 years ago. It didn't work.
It was called the Sedition Act and the law expired in 1801. (Another, less stronger law was made during World War One.)

As Rush Limbaugh always says: The Libs cant compete in the boxing ring, they need help from Big Brother.
Its not gonna work because then we will need to give Sean Hanitti at least one hour a day on Air America and Don Imus on BET network.... LOL

The fairness doctrine compells equal time for issues - a balanced report. Are you saying that talk radio is not interested in hearing both sides of an issue? Or that talk radio is majority of conservative, right-wing hosts? Are we as a culture so close minded that we don't want to hear opposing views - to try to understand? Rather only to entrench our own views?
Have we really come to that?
I personally don't see where the fairness doctrine is that bad.
