Let them try...
Time for good people to act.
Soros sounds like something akin to the antiChr*st. These people frightening. More frightening still are the millions of sheeple who know nothing of totalitarianism because they’ve learned nothing about it in government schools.
If it happens I think conservatives should stage the largest media boycott ever...newspapers, magazines, movies etc.
Yes let them try. They will rue the day. Fairness to a liberal is when conservatives just shut up.
If passed, this legislation will return to bite the ‘Rats and their America-hating affiliates right on the tail - because it means that all of the left-wing programs on PBS, NPR, etc., will be required BY LAW to provide conservative balance, and with some shrewd strategy and good legal counsel, I’m looking forward to hearing Rush Limbaugh expounding upon conservative values on NPR, and as for his own program?
Any liberal stupid enough to demand equal time with El Rushbo will not only have their ass handed to them, they might end up becoming an apostate to the liberal cause.
Of course the preferred result is to see this communist-inspired legislation from a communistic member of Congress strangled in it’s crib.

Let me see:
Liberals don’t like the First Amendment (Unless it helps them)
Liberals hate the Second Amendment
Liberals hate the 4th and 5th amendment (unless it is for terrorists, then they are for it)
Liberal Democrats??? Democrats ARE liberals.
It is serious. I lived through the original "Fairness Doctrine" and DO NOT want to be forced into yet another silenced majority.
The original "Fairness Doctrine" is not enough. Courts were starting to rule by the 1980s I believe that it was no longer necessary. There were plenty of sources of opinion by the 1980s.
I see that the Stalinist recognize that and their "Fairness Doctrine" tactic is to harass and threaten talk radio. The Stalinist clowns at Media Smatters will be the start witnesses.
Hold the hearings at Lexington Green.
The very concept is frightening but I admit the aftermath of this bill would be fascinating.......
What does the ACLU do or say?
Even more importantly.... what do our courts say?
I really think the rapid movement of the Dems on items like this will return to bite them firmly in the butt.

Representative Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) and Senator Bernie Sanders (S-Vermont) are sponsoring the “Media Ownership Reform Act” (MORA) as a vehicle for restoring the Fairness Doctrine. “Under this bill, if Rush Limbaugh shoots his mouth off, he must give equal access to our side,” Hinchey said. “The American public will begin to get both sides or all sides of an issue. That is basic – fundamental to a democracy.”
Critics have dubbed the bill the “Hush Rush Law.” But Hinchey contends his bill is even-handed. “The right-wingers over at CBS, NBC, and the rest will all be required to give access to our side,” Hinchey insisted. “Government control over what the media says is the only way we can head-off a fascist takeover of America.”

Would this “equal time” BS apply to CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN,MSNBC,PBS,NPR, and all the other commie propaganda outlets?? Hmm?
Rule 306 will trump the Fairness Doctrine.
