If Fairness for thee, then Fairness for me ...
John Lillpop, a self-described recovering liberal, says the Fairness Doctrine might not be so bad after all ... if:
"At first glance, the Fairness Doctrine being floated by leftist fascists like Diane Feinstein, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and other enemies of free speech sounds prohibitive and downright dangerous.
"But a real Fairness Doctrine might actually help if it included all media, television, newspapers, and radio, and if:
"When hiring reporters, editors, commentators, anchors, and other news staff, mainstream media venues were required to hire the exact same number of conservatives as liberals;
"For every Maureen Dowd column it publishes, The New York Times were required to run a current Ann Coulter column, of equal length, on the same page;
"PBS were required to follow the Jim Lehrer News Hour with a segment of The Savage Nation, hosted by Michael Savage.
"To counter 60 Minutes featuring Mike Wallace, CBS were required run a show of equal time hosted by Michael Reagan;
"In order to avoid being excessively 'one way,' ABC were ordered to fire two leftist feminists from The View and replace them with Bay Buchanan and Phyllis Schlafly[.]"
Read the rest here.
