Democrats want to stifle speech with ‘fairness doctrine’
Monday, October 20th, 2008
As City Journal’s Brian C. Anderson points out in The New York Post, liberals are ready to go after conservative talk radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. By imposing the ‘fairness doctrine’ on talk radio, they will effectively silence many conservative radio hosts. Liberal talk radio hosts can’t compete in the marketplace, so the left wants to use the power of the government to force liberal opinion to be heard on the radio.
Anderson writes,
“When the doctrine was in effect, both Democratic and Republican administrations regularly used it to harass critics on radio and TV.
If a station ran a big-audience conservative program like, say, Laura Ingraham’s, it would also have to run a left-leaning alternative. But liberals don’t do well on talk radio, as the failure of Air America and indeed all other liberal efforts in the medium to date show. Stations would likely trim back conservative shows so as to avoid airing unsuccessful liberal ones.
The American people are about to vote on November 4th, and the repercussions of that election could have far-reaching implications, not just for the economy, or war and peace, but for the fundamental freedoms that we enjoy when it comes to the first amendment.
Get ready for socialism and a major reduction in individual liberty…
