1. I'm all for bringing back The Fairness Doctrine.

[whathehell]

7. Yes, bring back the Fairness Doctrine, definitely

What the moron doesn't know, is that it would work better for us than him, and Repukes, generally..

[Dave Starsky]

10. Which is why they got rid of it in the first place.

If that fathead wants to restore the Fairness Doctrine, I'm all for it. I'm sure Fox News and Rush Limbaugh would be okay with that.

[whathehell]

14. That may well be, since, after approximately 50 years,

It "died" during the Reagan Administration.
and was never revived, although I think Dems may have made some attempt.
There many people, even Dems, who think it would be near impossible to adapt it to a media environment that has far outpaced the original 3 station network's model, but I'm not so sure...I think it should get another SERIOUS look. It's a huge deal, IMO.

5. Does he understand that the rule

never applied to entertainment programs or comedians?

[Generic Brad]

8. Normally that is true

But these are not normal times. In Trump World up is down and words do not mean what they used to mean.

12. But the world does revolve around the center of the universe.

Silly me, I always thought that it was the sun.

[whathehell]

15. Good point, and no, he likely doesn't..

That said, I would love to see the Fairness Doctrine re-,tweaked for

the cable/digital age.

[Igel]

17. It also didn't apply to talk radio.

n/t

[eShirl]

6. Please proceed.

[WinkyDink]

9. His stupidity and venality are sui generis.

[Laffy Kat]

11. The GOP is the party that did away with it in the first place.

So typical.

[malaise]

13. No he doesn't - he wants no fairness for Fux

He only wants to silence critics

[smirkymonkey]

16. Grow up you whiny little bitch!

If you didn't give them so much material to work with they wouldn't have anything to attack you with, now would they?

[4now]

18. Trump making sure we know that he is a moron

[louis c]

19. Please refer to Trump as a moron.

We have to get that name to stick with everyone.
