“I think the bigger concern for them should be if you have government dictating content policy, which by the way would have a big First Amendment problem.”
“Then, whoever is in charge of government is going to determine what is fair, under a so-called ‘Fairness Doctrine,’ which won’t be called that – it’ll be called something else,” McDowell said. “So, will Web sites, will bloggers have to give equal time or equal space on their Web site to opposing views rather than letting the marketplace of ideas determine that?”
UPDATE: Allahpundit has some good commentary on this. I think the country is trending right, not left. Look at the book sales of conservative books vs. liberal books. Maybe the reason for the “Fairness Doctrine” is just another example of those who can’t handle the truth trying to silence those who speak it. (Silencing by means of forcing them to be “equal” and unprofitable, thereby forcing them out of business)
