The Fairness Doctrine

In case you live in a closet, or just find politics too overwhelming to follow, here is a short description of the Fairness Doctrine. It is an all out assault on freedom of speech, brought to us by the biggest whiners about maintaining freedom of speech. In case you are not aware, our founding fathers in their infinite wisdom placed freedom of speech in the first amendment of the Constitution. It was that important to them. It was the first thing they wanted protected.
Now the democrats want to pass the 'Fairness Doctrine' or at least have it reinstated. Their view of the 'Fairness Doctrine' is to shut down conservative talk radio and Fox News. They have targeted those entities for a reason. Those entities actually use logic and true investigative means, rely on common sense, not hype to make clear what politicians are actually trying to do.
My soap box example is the 'Born Alive Infant Protection Act'. Do you know what that is? It is an Act that assures medical staff, who are performing full term abortions, that if the baby accidentally slips out of the birth canal, alive and well, it can be placed in a sink, or on a table or whatever and left to die. That is 'protection' right? Now, if you only read the title of the act, you would never guess what was really behind it. Talk radio and Fox News, actually read stuff, and ask the obvious questions, like "Where is the infant protection in this act? Well, your slimy democratic senators and representatives don't want to actually have to discuss those minor details, they just want to sell you on a nice fluffy name. Sounds great doesn't it? We are just trying to protect the children is their common montra. Great protection if you ask me.
If you listen to conservative talk radio, you will regularly hear the hosts say "we have contacted so and so's office and they have declined our invitation for an interview." All the libs have to do to make the 'Fairness Doctrine' fair, is to actually accept those invites. They don't dare do it, that would be too easy. What they want to do is have fluff ball pieces on their friendly democratically owned stations like NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, HNN, etc. They know those entities will not dare challenge them. In fact, if tested, these same individuals threaten the stations with 'no future interviews if you make me uncomfortable'.
Okay, so if you are one of the 50 plus million sheople who watch reality tv, followed the messiah on the message of hope and change, and you think you are getting the full story, I challenge you to take a week and listen to Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, or pretty much any talk radio. It is mostly Conservative talk radio anyway because libs don't shop or support their 'Air America' which I don't understand since they save all that money from not paying their taxes.
