Ok, now I'm calling b***s***, BC. Reason being is that the Fairness Doctrine was first erroded under President Reagan's watch by then FCC Chair Mark Fowler. In 1987 Congress tried to preempt the FCC's decision and codify the Fairness Doctrine in law only to have it vetoed by Reagan. In 1991 Congress tried again only to have the whole thing shelved because President Bush threatened another veto. In fact, the last three Senators that ahve gone on record as supporting bring back the Fairness Doctrine are Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Richard Durbin (D-IL), and John Kerry (D-MA). The GOP has constantly and consitantly opposed reinstating the Fairness Doctrine at every point since the FCC first moved to abolish it in 1985.
That's a good thing because the only reason why the left is trying to preserve it is because there has been a media battleground upon which they continue to struggle to get any listenership despite millions of dollars poured into it. In other words, they still can't convince anyone that their system is good despite their most careful lies and promises.
So take that "lefties don't support free speech" horse s*** and cram it directly up your ass.
The word going around the board is that you've got a thing for ewes.
