Reply #4: The problem with

the Fairness Doctrine was that instead of giving equal time to all parties, they didn't give time to any so as to spare the expense. Thus the American people were fed intellectual pablum, and the fascists were enabled to gain control.

I think the current system is better. Yes, we have to listen to Rush, and Sean, and Micahel Reagan, and Mike Svage, and so on. But we also have a chance to fight back.

If we can't, then it's our own fault. We are the smart party, and should be able to out-inform AND out-entertain these guys. It will take work, but it will pay off in the long run much bigger time than a return to the Fairness Doctrine.
