How Fair is the Fairness Doctrine?

With the upcoming elections one begins to examine what would a Democrat controlled congress look like and what direction would they take the country? Because of the liberalization and radicalization of the Democrat party the answer is into a ditch. One issue that certainly Democrats appear to want to involve themselves with is reviving the fairness doctrine. This would create an environment where equal time would have to be given to both political sides in the media. The reality is liberals control the media and any argument to the contrary is absurd. They control a majority of printed news sources and three major network news sources. But that is not good enough for them and now they set their sights on taking down conservative talk radio. Conservatives dominate talk radio and it is one area of the media where liberals have been rejected wholeheartedly. One simply needs to look at the current situation with Air America who is subsisting on life-support. And like every other instance of society when a group of persons does not succeed liberals feel it is their duty to involve themselves to raise them up. This is their mentality going back to Roosevelt's well intentioned New Deal program on up until today where we live in a welfare state. Liberals want to blame conservative talk radio for their failures in past elections. They do not seem do want to acknowledge that their ideas maybe are not resonating with the majority of Americans. I believe the market should dictate what is presented and not politicians. Conservatives have had to turn to talk radio and alternative media because of the overwhelming liberal bias in conventional media. This is just one of the many issues to think about when you go to the voting booths this November.
