Another Idiot for the Fairness Doctrine
Sometimes politicians say things that are so stupid you have to wonder how they even manage to breathe.
Consider this from World Net Daily:
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, has joined up with other influential Democrats, including President Bill Clinton, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, in calling for a resurrection of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”.
“I support the goals underlying the Fairness Doctrine. Democracies rely on a dispassionate press that reports
the facts with objectivity and presents a diversity of perspectives in its editorial content,” Brown wrote to a constituent who asked for the senator’s perspective.
The question and response were forwarded to WND.
“When a single ideology dominates the press – whether it is liberal or conservative – the line between information and propaganda can easily become blurred,” Brown wrote.
OMG! Does this clown actually believe that the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, ABC, AP, etc., “reports the facts with objectivity and presents a diversity of perspectives.”
Has he even READ a newspaper or watched television news even once in the last decade.
Honestly, how friggin stupid can this guy be? Really?
The sole reason conservative talkers dominate the AM radio band is precisely because of the lack of objectivity and editorial diversity in the big media.
Everywhere newspapers are dying because people are sick and tired of the constant liberal propaganda masquerading as news found in the pages of nearly every paper in the country. FoxNews channel routinely beats the stuffings out of its competitors for ratings because it’s the only channel on TV that makes any pretense of being “fair and balanced.”
Yet morons like Sen. Brown and other equally moronic Democrats want to impose “fairness” on the few alternatives to the monolithic liberal news business.
Shheesh.
