Instead of promoting the "Fairness Doctrine" here, shouldn't Dems try to promote this in the Middle East?

Question

I know we can't enact laws there, but there must be something that we can do to facilitate a better flow of information to the middle east. Those people are being brainwashed by their government controlled media (please stop trying to do that here Hillary). Can't we do something similar to Radio Free Europe?

Answer 1

Maybe we should give them all cable TV! Then they can see what they have been missing all these years! lol

I agree that the middle east should be flooded with outside information and news so they can make better informed choices.

Answer 2

Stop meddling in the Middle East. This is exactly the problem. Get your own house in order before trying to tell other people what to do.

Neocons are scared to death of the Fairness Doctrine because right-wing propaganda outlets may have to air opposing views once in a while and their lies will be totally exposed.

Answer 3

The US has Radio Sawa and Television Alhurra which broadcast in the Middle East. So far they do not seem to be very successful as the hatred in the Arab/Muslim world run very deep

Answer 4

So, what, when a Palistinian Authority TV station has a Hamas terrorist on the air saying "Death to Israel" they should devote equal time to a Likud pundit shouting "Death to Palestine" - or would a Fatah apologist calling for a two-state solution be sufficient counter point?

Answer 5

So you want them to get hold of YOUR information? Does that make it right? Your ideas are the correct ones, obviously Ask the Native Americans about that policy. Why does everyone have to stick their fat noses in others' business?

Answer 6

You are aware, aren't you, that bush PAID journalists to PLANT stories in the Iraqi press?

And what the hell business is it of YOURS what is going on in another country? When did America sign on as Imperialists?


Oh. Right.....
