If applied fairly (and that's the whole point), it would be to our advantage. Since the whole media tilts left, the Fairness Doctrine would at least help it tilt back towards the middle. For every stupid liberal comment they make, they would have to legally counter it with a conservative opinion. That might not be such a bad thing.
“Since the whole media tilts left”
Except for talk radio, it’s fair to say that the media has dug post holes and set themselves in reinforced concrete on the left. There’s no tilting about it.
That's my concern: who will be the annointed ones to proclaim which speech is 'just ramblin' and which is legit political speech.
I'm enraged at how much of my history I was not taught in public schools or [more likely], how much I've forgotten through inattention.
