I find this sort of comment both puzzling and inflammatory.  There is 
NO evidence the Fairness Doctrine is coming back, despite a couple of 
congresspeople who say they'd like it.  And even if it did come back, 
there  is NO evidence it would "ban" conservative talk.  There was 
endless (and very successful) talk radio on many stations in the 60s, 
70s and into the 80s, and some of the best known talkers were righties.
