So apparently this act has some steam, you can read about it on wikipedia but basically the act says that the fcc can force talk radio to present issues in their opinion a fair and balanced manner. Wondering what peoples thoughts are on this, especially the liberals as they tend to complain more about conservative talk radio being one sided as anyone.
Did you actually read the whole thing?
In 1987, the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine, prompting some to urge its reintroduction through either Commission policy or Congressional legislation.
In the 110th Congress (2007-2009), where Democrats hold a majority of both Houses, no legislation to restore the Fairness Doctrine has been introduced.
Obama doesn't support reintroducing it, nor do a vast majority of Democrats, so it ain't gonna happen. It's all just a bugaboo that right wing radio has been stirring up.
