See? I told you so!

Dana at Common Sense Political Thought has an excellent post on the reviving of the Fairness Doctrine.

According to this article, Democrat Dennis Kucinich has announced his interest in bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.

Like a vampire that just won't stay dead, the Fairness Doctrine gets new life every time Democrats get some power. That's because, even though they obviously got their message out before the fall elections, Democrats just don't think opposing viewpoints can be heard without government mandate. If this were true, how on earth did Democrats manage to capture Congress since, according to moonbats, all media are owned by conservatives?

Yes, it certainly is perplexing. I mean, you would think that if liberal viewpoints couldn't be heard, there never would have been an Air America to go bankrupt. But sure enough, Virginia, there has been an Air America and it did go bankrupt, not because there wasn't a Fairness Doctrine to protect it but because nobody wants to listen to them (besides the fact they already have NPR and PBS).

I wrote about the return of the Fairness Doctrine way back in the first week of my blog when one person probably saw it. It bears repeating: we don't need the Fairness Doctrine.

There was a time when there were a handful of television and radio stations from which all Americans got their news. It made sense that they were required to give all sides of issues and strive for impartiality. But with the advent of digital broadcasting (which allowed more stations on the dial), plus the internet, there's simply no voice or opinion without an outlet these days.

Why is it those free speech-lovin' liberals always want to limit speech?
