Why would pundits on Fox News be against the Fairness Doctrine?

[The Backlash Cometh]

"Who Runs Fox News?" is an oldie video but well worth revisiting now that Fox News pundits are launching an attack on the Fairness Doctrine. In this video, you'll be able to surmise why conservatives do not want to resurrect the Doctrine. For one thing, they absolutely do not want liberals picking the liberal commentators. That job is for Roger Ailes, and now, Rupert Murdoch who has a cameo appearance in this moveon video.

1. I think

it goes against their motto, "Fair and Balanced"? How in the world can "Fair and Balanced" work in a world with something called "The Fairness Doctrine? That's just crazy.

2. Everything they do is ass-backwards.

I guess if they can get away with getting their audience to believe the ridiculous, it's cheaper than having to spend money to investigate and report the facts.
