I too am glad to know there are other like-minded folks out there. Millions and millions of us apparently. This issue is a big concern to me, because it is such an obvious trampling of one of our basic rights. God-given, not government-given. The government doesn't give us these rights, and they should not attempt to take them away. Thanks both of you for also caring about this. Thanks both of you for your comments.

I have been trying to do some reading about the Fairness Doctrine myself. It seems it was initially implemented at a time when available frequencies were limited. I got info from Wikipedia and some other sources I googled. One of the side effects of it was, that it became so burdensome that reporters just quit covering anything controversial, according to one of my sources. Now, wouldn't that be a shame? The general (and I say that with some trepidation) feeling is that, because of the wide availability of frequencies today, there is more than ample opportunity for both sides to be heard, which we can quite obviously see and hear. I'm with you, let the free market decide. Here's hoping we continue to have one. Very good points, pup. I have been trying to do some reading about the Fairness Doctrine myself.

I am glad to have found another like minded person out here. Good luck on your blog, and I will later today place you on my blogroll. This is a hot topic, whether the left wishes to agree with this or not. All they are working to do is censor people like Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, by getting them off the air. Never underestimate them. They succeed here, they will next come after places like Blog Talk Radio, where I have a show, and they will go after the Conservative thought shows. I doubt they will do anything to the liberal ones. If they succeed there, then the blogs on the internet are next. There will be no stopping them. -Robert- Good Post.

It should be very interesting to see how they try to tilt that left without getting the conservative base in an uproar. At least I hope they will get in an uproar. Very interesting blog.
