"The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was (in the Commission's view) honest, equitable, and balanced."

Correct.

Your point?

"that means the dems get 6 hours on a subject and the repubs 5 minutes."

And then you zoom off into bizarro world.

The Unfairness Doctrine would be acceptable under one condition. It must be applied to every medium. So if they want my local radio station to carry three hours of Err America because they carry three hours of Rush Limbaugh it would be ok if they force NBC to put Ann Coulter on for as long as their liberal anchor is on.
