Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee Calls for a Return to the 'Fairness' Doctrine

[HateEmLiberals]

Stupid..........WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

The Fairness doctrine is getting attention because the fucking liberals cant raise an audience for their radio shows.

ANY COMMENT can be made as long as the owner of the station allows it

Laughable. Sheila Jackson feels threatened by the tea party and the anti Obama sentiment that is rising. Hopefully she keeps this fairness doctrine campaign and exposes herself.

The airwaves belong to the public, just like the air, water or the roads. Stations receive a license to operate - a privilege, not a right - and are required to operate in "the public interest."

When those such stations carry programs that are a 24/7 diet of Republican talking points - whose hosts mock or hang up on callers with views that do not follow the "party line," -- those licensees show that they are not fit to provide public service to the broad spectrum of viewpoints of Americans

i feel its time for a fairness doctrine to see the light of day. as Americans we ALL deserve to hear the news on the facts based upon equal and fair reporting. NO LONGER should we be subject to the prejudice and hate of the right based upon their twisted and racist interpretations. NO LONGER should haters like Limbaugh-beck-hanutty-and Levin cast their bigotry across american airwaves unchecked. ITS TIME FOR ALL Americans to get access to radio and TV news based upon fairness and not prejudice

Once again liberals proving they don't like free speech. In fact, they don't like any kind of freedom. Did anyone actually see these 2 blowhards when this aired? I think the 225 views of this video are more than when it was televised live.

Kind of ironic that Ed says "Where is the decency?" It is so funny to hear that coming out of his mouth.
