I can’t wait for the Republicans to stand up and announce the introduction of a Fairness Doctrine for the print and TV broadcast media just to expose the hypocrisy of these liberals,like RFK. And to hear the newspaper editors and TV talking heads scream about censorship and their 1st amendment rights would be fun to watch as well.

Unfortunately we don’t have a Republican party with any testicles to do such a thing.

Speaking about Kennedy and the fairness doctrine;

“Global Warming & The Fairness Doctrine Used for Media Intimidation”

“Environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was recently paid $20,000 by Virginia Tech to tell the students that there aren’t two sides to the global warming debate and that the problem with the media today is that we don’t have a fairness doctrine. Those positions, which sound contradictory, betray the modern liberal agenda. They want to bring back the fairness doctrine not to ensure true fairness and balance in journalism but to intimidate and censor those expressing a view contrary to their own.”

“The decline in the American journalism began in 1988 when Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine,” Kennedy said, according to the student paper, the Collegiate Times.
