[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 476471, member: 2189"] Hey Scratch, who sez at some point that it won't apply? Have you ever known gov't to recognize an out of bounds line when it comes to anything else in life? :happy-very: Therefore, why at some point should they only stop at talk radio. The dirty truth about this fairness doctrine idea is the only people wanting it are folks associated with the major political parties. Obviously democrats more that republicans but if talk radio was in reverse, I've no doubt where the hues and cries would be coming from for it. The independent left is equally against the fairness doctrine just because of the fear of the very overreach you spoke of. Once in place, the independent liberals know at some point the republican right will swing back into power and the safe haven of the internet or other forms of mass communication would no longer be safe and the precedent would have already been set. Just because someone calls themselves liberal doesn't mean they are always for overreaching gov't, a powerful democrat party or uncheck power for the democrats. At the same time, I've seen people on this website who call themselves republican and even conservative who have advocated for more gov't overreach and more unchecked power to their specific party brand so I guess it's all fair in love and war. It's also why I still maintain this 2 supposed sides are just 2 heads of the same monster that is out to screw us all as long as they benefit in wealth and power. It's ironic that in this potential fight over this issue that fans of conservative talk radio will have a very powerful ally who has been a very vocal critic of the Fariness Doctrine.
