Nah..

I think they figure they have enough on their platter without THAT mess . Fact is, there are so many outlets for terrestrial talk radio these days with folks able to go to XM, the WWW, and podcasts in the car that stifling the terrestrial outlets would have little effect on the silencing of political adversaries, the main point of the "Fairness" Doctrine. They know that.

Another thing these Fairness advocates know is that you have to be careful what you wish and lobby for. With court challenges, especially after responsible Republican leadership is back in power, we could find the mainstream alphabet media having to be FOXNEWS one night, and their old, reliable socialist selves the next, since they also run over the airwaves. They try to pry radio from TV for these purposes, but since FCC is the controlling authority and they govern the airwaves, the only way to dodge the issue would be for the dinosaur alphabets to go off the air and be strictly cable.

I think The Fairness Doctrine (which was last unfurled in the 1980s) was dredged up a few years back in an attempt to save Air America, which lots of rich liberals had invested in, but never could draw audience, ratings and the lifeblood of radio, advertising . Even Soros got tired of writing checks and even Franken and Maddow got tired of working for free. And Air America went tits up, as we all know: :

I was actually retrieving cached pages from my deleted stuff Jimbo but I don't mind you answering, I don't think the original post got this many replies. Anyhoo, I hope you're right but look at how those freaking tyrants pushed through health care. Something is not right with this administration, they want too much control and power and nothing is going to stop them, so they seem to believe anyway.

Well, given the comedy of their handling of the spill, the wars, the ongoing terror-tries, the drops in the polls, the economy, personnel scandals, leaks, the givebacks to Republicans in the off-year elections and a lot of stuff I'm overlooking, ya have to figure these folks are of spongy spines and narrow shoulders as it is. I have a feeling they're going to try to ride out the summer. Hell, even without taking on new initiatives, events are riding their asses as it is. And, their understanding of the world, how things work is so infantile, their attitudes so childish on everything they're faced with, nothing gets solved with this gang.

The only thing I consider possible and beneficial to them no matter the anger of the rest of us is a ramming through of some form of electoral amnesty for illegals. In a time of rapidly diminishing political fortunes, a freshly-minted 50 or 60 million brand new illegal immigrant Democrats clamoring for benefits would be just the ticket, no?

You just reminded me of something I heard last night Jimbo, obama is THINKING of giving "across the board amnesty" to ALL illegal aliens, of course they SAY there is only about 12 million but they've been saying that for the last 20 years or so, they've been covering up the REAL numbers so IMO there is probably about 40 million or more, JMO but I would bet you anything that that is more closer to the truth.

It's more, with more every day. With Obama and Democrats in power, as many as can get in under the wire will. You don't front-load the demographics of the biggest 250 U.S. cities with Hispanics on only 12 million. You do it with tens of millions, maybe even 100 million. Remember, these folks average 6 children per family, have been at it since the last amnesty in 1986, so do the math.

Well they say that there is about 3k a day entering so the math is pretty easy to figure out. The dems wont touch border control with a ten foot pole because they WANT those votes. Of course the republicans didn't do anything about it all those years either.
