nobody is saying you have to have the government running the whole industry. Im just saying that there should be an option for those at the bottom.

Originally posted by FMFwe are talking about the fairness doctrine.the liberals can say their view all they want but if nobody listens to them they dont get the ratings and there fore the show fails. conservative shows are successful because people tune in to hear it. when people stop tuning in they will fail.the fairness doctrine is an attempt to stifle free speech.you really need to wake up because you are sounding more foolish than usual today
'Freedom of speech is all about ratings'.
