The UnFairness Doctrine provides for a government moderator to determine what is “fair”. Are you insinuating that FR is a haven for hate speech?
BTW, have you seen post #108? The flap concerning the UnFairness Doctrine has more to do with its odious intent than actual regulation... The intent is to destroy political opposition by silencing it, which is what O’Reilly has decided he would like to see.
Wrong. The Fairness Doctrine as written says that if a station provides X minutes of time for one side of a controversial topic, then it has to provide equal time for opposing viewpoints.
In practice, stations would simply not provide time for either side, so as to avoid the paperwork workload and the fear of federal sanctions for not getting it right.
Is has nothing to do with offensive speech, because profanity and offensive speech are dealt with by other regulations.
