Question of the day.........

It appears that the Dems are headed toward reinstating the so called 'Fairness Doctrine' in radio and TV public broadcasting. When asked directly by a reporter yesterday, Pompous Pelosi, the House Speakerette, without hesitation said "Yes!"

Now obviously, the only the reason the Dems would have for wanting to reinstate this Marxist doctrine in our great country would be to muzzle on the air conservatives. Keep in mind what they mean when they say "Fairness". What they mean is that for every hour of broadcast time a conservative in on the air, the station must reciprocate by providing an equal amount of time to a liberal. No matter that almost every liberal talk show host has failed, and that those that remain have ratings about on a par with a skunk at a picnic , or a yellow cloud in a public swimming pool.

Ready for the question Pilgrims? If the Fairness Doctrine is in fact imposed by these Castro's of the Beltway, do you reckon that they will insist that ABC, Cnn, CBS, NBC, CNBC, PBS, Public Radio, the New York Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post follow the same rules?

Of course I jest -- Elsewise, every time Matt Lauer leaped left, they'd have to let a conservative have equal time. When Brian Williams, Katty Couric, or Charlie Gibson started mouthing their platitudes - they would have to share fifteen minutes of their half hour with a Krauthammer, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett, or a Hannity. Ain't gonna happen!

So if they were being honest they would call it the Muzzle Conservatives Doctrine! 'Course using 'honest' in the same sentence with congress in general and the Dem's in particular is a major oxymoron isn't it? Oops, that's another question!

The first programming in this Nation that should be examined for fairness should be PBS and Public Radio --- talk about not passing the 'sniff' test! And these broadcasters are paid for by, we the taxpayers. They don't even have to make a profit! Of course if they did, their broadcast line-up would be totally different!
