"That is the point. Liberals will dictate when and where corporations are allowed to own media assets" Even if true, and it is a pretty dubious assertion, how does that have anything to do with the Fairness Doctrine? The Fairness Doctrine and Obama's illegal birth status are linked. I don't know how but if someone does some digging, I am sure they will find the connection.

"The Obama - Pelosi plan to sidestep the wildly unpopular "Fairness Doctrine" is to force media conglomerates to break up and institute strict racial quotas for market minority ownership." Assuming it is true, that is the Fairness Doctrine exactly how? "That is the point. Liberals will dictate when and where corporations are allowed to own media assets. Failure to comply with the directives of Pelosi - Obama will result in dissolution. They believe it will allow the partisan liberal control of broadcast media to continue while denying airspace for conservative talk radio." Even if true, and it is a pretty dubious assertion, how does that have anything to do with the Fairness Doctrine? Granted, it might impact Rush's boss, ClearChannel, but... You pretend to be unable to understand but then you show that you get the duplicity of it. Censorship by any means is still censorship. Do you want to live in a society that does not allow free expression if it disagrees with one or another political philosophy? Remember the knife cuts both ways. We have witnessed people who spent eight years attacking President Bush asking non leftwingnuts to treat Obama more fairly than they ever treated President Bush. Those who go outside the political norms cannot expect to be given more leeway than they gave.
