I welcome the Fairness Doctrine, as a matter of Federal Statute and not merely "public policy", with open arms. The concept dates back to the early days of broadcasting and is predicated upon the axioms that (1) the airwaves belong to ALL Americans, not merely com corporations, and (2) that broadcasters are licensed to act in the public interest. The Doctrine IS constitutional (FCC v. Red Lion Communications) and is long overdue as law.
