Obama Does Not Support Return of Fairness Doctrine
There may be some Democrats talking about reimposing the Fairness Doctrine, but one very important one does not: presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama.
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/25/2008 6:25:00 PM
Barack Obama is a no on the fairness doctrine........Mcain is against it too!So, at least in this regard John McCain is on the right side....some are saying.
So, while conservatives balk at the thought of McCain representing the Republican Party, it is refreshing that he has expressed his opposition to this nefarious policy, rightfully noting that it "had a chilling effect on free speech, and it is hard to imagine that the American people would support reinstating a policy where the federal government would be required to police the airwaves to ensure differing viewpoints are offered.

The fairness doctrine
The Fairness Doctrine should not be resurrected, and the Broadcaster Freedom Act (S. 1748; H.R. 2905) should be passed in order to ensure this. To require broadcasters to provide “equal time” for opposing viewpoints qualifies as a blatant violation of the right to free speech protected under the U.S. Constitution. We respectfully call upon you to use the influence at your disposal to support the Broadcaster Freedom Act, to guarantee that the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” never again becomes the law of the land.
In a nut shell...........if you pay for the airtime and you give your view point...you should not have to pay for the airtime for someone to come on your show...(using your airtime) to speak against everything you just stated in the name of being "fair". You paid for it....say it.
Freedom of speech???? If you believe in Lions being caged at the zoo...your not going to want to pay for the airtime for someone to come on your show and talk about how they should run free in suburbia!
