How would the Fairness Doctrine effect a radio station that has a Libertarian talk show?
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009I know that the Fairness Doctrine is supposed to force stations to air opposing views. A Libertarian is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. So a conservative show or a liberal show wouldn’t "balance" Libertarian views. As far as I know, there aren’t any talk shows that have a fiscally liberal and socially conservative host.
I listen to a Libertarian talk show in the mornings (Neal Boortz) and I was just wondering how the government would try to balance out those views.
There is no definitive answer to this. That is the biggest problem. What some may view as liberal others may view as conservative and vice versa.
First someone would have to define Liberal and Conservative, for their to be a balance. That simply can’t or won’t happen.
Liberal talk shows don’t work and the Senator from MI or wherever who is pushing for this happens to be married to the someone high on the food chain of the bankrupt "Air America"! LOL!!!
NO conflict there! Air America is proof that liberals viewpoints just don’t want to be heard. If people did want to hear them they wouldn’t go bankrupt.
