Bill Clinton Wants to Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine
Add Bill Clinton to the list of Democrats who wants to reinstate the fairness doctrine.
Well, you either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we ought to have more balance on the other side,” Clinton said, “because essentially there’s always been a lot of big money to support the right wing talk shows and let face it, you know, Rush Limbaugh is fairly entertaining even when he is saying things that I think are ridiculous
Bill Clinton did make a good point in that quote, there is money in conservative talk radio. Yes, conservative talk radio makes the radio stations money and that is why they are on the air. Liberals have had talk radio programs, and still do, liberals have had radio networks but the problem is nobody listens to liberal talk radio so the radio stations don’t make money and the shows get cancelled. It is as simple as that.
There is a very good reason why liberals don’t listen to talk radio to hear opinions that they agree with– they don’t have to. Liberals have cornered the market in every other media form from television to newspapers.
Conservatives on the other hand only have talk radio where they can hear conservative voices. That is why the left is so anxious to reinstate the fairness doctrine, they want to limit the last bastion of conservative talk, the one media outlet that they don’t dominate.
The groundswell is growing now that these non-inclusive, insensitive Democrats have power. They are looking to end free speech and to silence the opposition, they are looking to squash all of those that do not believe what they believe. They want to end debate.
There is nothing more un-American than that.













What I don’t understand is why they need the stupid thing to begin with. Anyone can say what ever they want, and start any kind of business that they want.You can’t stop someone from doing something just because you don’t want them to do it! The whole thing is ridiculous. Once again it’s all in the name. Sheeple hear “fairness” and they think it’s right. There’s nothing “fair” about it.

Ahh, Deb, I like you’re thinking, but you’re missing one very important point. Socialist governments don’t want you saying whatever you want and they will find ways to stop you. Same with starting any kind of business you want. Both speech and business has to fall within the government’s parameters.
This new administration is working hard to establish a full Socialist government. The Stimulus Plan is a big first step, the Fairness Doctrine will be another big step. If they pass it, newspapers and the internet regulation will follow.
On my blog, I get as many organizational hits as individual hits, many from internet monitoring sites. I’m not paranoid, but I bet on I’m a watch list or two.
