| SuperGZK ::: Favorites 2007-10-27 16:44:40 I was part of a tiny ad hoc group opposing a major corporation. They spent millions to push an amendment to our state constitution. All local TV and radio stations refused to air any opposing views or ads. We challenged them using the Fairness Doctrine. A month before the election polls showed over 80% in favor. On election night the amendment was defeated by less than 1%. Soon after Ronald Reagan's signature eliminated the Fairness Doctrine. __________________________________________________ | |

| oneandatwo ::: Favorites 2007-10-19 00:30:11 What Twain would say is: Today's democrats seek to fraudulently use the United States government, putting their people into position for the purpose of redirecting the morals of the nation and creating laws that make morality illegal in the United States. These idiots will stop at nothing, since that would require morality to do so. __________________________________________________ | |
| curlygirly45 ::: Favorites 2007-10-12 15:39:12 Thanks again. The well-named Fairness doctrine only applies to news gathering org.s & never applied to entertainment television, movies, and print. Talk radio would be safe, most news on talk radio is supplied by satelite news organizations, so would remain unaffected and what it is now: Opinions. Mr.Twain was great at seeing both sides and changing his opinion when facts didn't support it. Maybe happy about this discussion, too. __________________________________________________ | |
| phibes51 ::: Favorites 2007-10-10 13:45:22 The intention of this video was to amuse. The Fairness doctrine was NOT about any kind of censorship. It was to promote an informed populace by presenting both sides of issues reported. The public at present is well-informed only for their own side of any argument, which to me is uninformed. It's easy to agree with our own opinions: harder to understand both sides and then make an informed decision. Thanks for your feedback. __________________________________________________ | |
