Facist Doctrine Dead in the Water

Thank God for common sense. Remember, the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" would have put liberals on equal time on radio and television (not that libs don't control the media airwaves as it is) because they say they're not getting a fair shake. The problem with that B.S. is that it's the people and ratings that dictate who the people want to hear from more. It's not conservatives fault that NPR, Air America and other money-losing liberal stations are dropping like flies. It's their content, their hatred for anything right-wing. The same for television. There's a reason FOX News is beating the crap out of every other cable station and has done so for the last five years running. People are sick and tired of the lefty meme of the right is at fault for everything. That every single Democrat (especially Democrat presidents) are brilliant, suave, hip and mainstream, while every single Republican is a racist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe and out of touch.

While the "Fairness Doctrine" purportedly was supposed to give "equal" time to liberals on the radio (because again, it's the one medium they don't biasly dominate) did it happen to mention giving conservatives equal time on the major news networks? Magazines? More conservative influence in Hollywood-made movies (another victim of the people getting sick and tired of the liberal in-your-face messages about how their country sucks-hence more independent-made movies being released and nominated for Oscars) CNN had ruled cable news since 1980. Then somewhere along the line, they decided to indoctrinate people with the liberal Animal Farm message of "Democrats good, Republicans bad" every time. Agenda journalism was born (or at least dug up and polished off)

The days of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite are gone. Now it's the days of Jon Stewart and Chris Matthews, pathetically. If any group should be crying foul (or in the case of Al Gore, "BULLSH*T!") it is conservatives. Three liberals to one conservative on The View? Hardly any conservative points of view during the Ground Zero Mosque debates hosted by Christiane Amanpour, as she went so far to question the patriotism of anyone with legitimate beefs of a Muslim building of worship going up in the shadow of the greatest MUSLIM terrorist attack on American soil? By the way, the irony of an English/Iranian nationalist questioning the patriotism of Americans was not lost on me. Discussion round-tables on Meet the Press is almost always tilted in the lefts favor when it comes to ideology of it's guests. If it wasn't for George Will what other regular conservative guest is there? Don't give me David Brooks or David Frum. They're as much a conservative as I am a liberal. Where is all the liberal concern over those? When libs are in the driver's seat controlling the conversation with no one to call them on their white-washing of history and bias, everything is butter. But the moment a conservative calls them on their lies or a right-tilted news-entertainment program gains any ratings over their left-wing counterpart, there has to be a system of "fairness."

Thank God the FCC finally came to it's senses.
