[BC] Fairness doctrine by another name? aka censorship?

[Tom Bosscher]

Ah Donna. She always side steps.

    The Interesting Part of the return of the "Anything but Fairness 
Doctrine", is that the Fairness will be in the ear of the listener, and 
the eye of the viewer.

    All Listeners and all Viewers.

    As such, your "access to Arbitron Data", means, um, nothing. Each 
and everyone one of us gets to protest and demand "equal" for whatever 
injury hits our ears/eyes.

    I listened to NPR for four hours a day, for three weeks, varied the 
shows. It has a liberal bias. Quote any study you want, it's biased.
   
    Once the Anything But Fairness Doctrine comes back, every single 
right wing wacko, and every single Ditto Head gets to file for "Fair 
Time" on the NPR stations.
Oh, and Katie, "what are we, um, I mean the democrats going to do..." 
Couric. And NBC and ABC. And say, doesn't the View only have one labeled 
conservative? Is that fair?
That'll be cool when the government tells the View who the hosts are 
going to be.
   
And again, the really cool part is that no matter what selective article 
you quote, or a story of a friend of a friend,
with the Anything But Fairness Doctrine, every single person, now gets 
to be empowered to ask for equal time.
You will have just as much right to file for time against Rush as the 
pencil neck geeks who sit back in the server room get to file against 
the local NPR station.
   
    And a great time will be had by all.

     Tom, not a liberal and not a conservative.
