And you seem to misunderstand how the Fairness Doctrine was supposed to work. It wasn't a "50/50" proposition. It was simply designed so that, when one side trashed the other, the trashed side could respond to the charges. This could be as little as 1/2 hour of broadcast time.
What it DID do is hold down the level of nutty rhetoric on all sides.

So basically, considering Olbermann is liberally biased, he should allocate time for a Conservative to rebuttal; even if he loses time, viewers, and money doing this? I don't even like Olbermann and I wouldn't ask this of anyone. It's more big government for no big reason.
As far as talk radio; first in 1949 and then in 1967 The "Fairness Doctrine" was in use because of the limited amount of outlets to air political opinions. however, it was DISCONTINUED because of the sheer.. continued.

Continued.. Number of available outlets! There is no use for this ridiculous legislation! The only reason it is being brought up is because the lest frontier (radio) is dominated by hardcore conservatives like Rush (people tune in for his comedy as much as his politics) and Liberals need to ride their coattails to be successful! Look at Al Franken and Air America Radio! Bankrupcty, not attracting enough viewers for commercials = no radio station! If you are seriously suggesting.. continued.

Continued.. That there isn't enough media outlets for Liberals to broadcast on you are delusional. And as far as I know there havent been any RECENT incidents of a Liberally biased news radio outlet being DENIED licenses because of their political stance. Even if it did happen ONE TIME that wouldn't warrant legislation to fix the problem! A civil suit would do well though! If I listen to Franken its for liberally biased media, if I listen to Rush its for Conservative. The Government. continued.

Continued. To make that decision for me! Especially considering I am an adult who can make my own decision who to listen to. There is plenty of media outlets out their producing both sides of the story; it makes no sense for big government to overstep their bounds and force a radio station to air anything at all!
Jeez, legislation like this makes me sick.

P.S.
"Nutty Rhetoric" is protected under the 1st Amendment =)
In all seriousness, I have enjoyed debating with you. I know we share two very different viewpoints but at least this debate is preparing me for my next semester at the University I am transferring to. I have been told I am taking a class with a very politically motivated liberal professor; and since I can never keep my mouth shut I am sure I will constantly be arguing with him -_-
Anyhow, cheers.

Keith Olberman is ...( 2 days ago by flyers22)
Keith Olberman is an angry GAY AMERICAN. His gayness is well known in media circles. He was fired from ESPN where his title was "hockey score reading executive". ESPN fired Olberman for attempting to fondle any man he saw at the station. His nickname there was "Mr. Oral" Olberman was known for keeping condoms and lube products in his locker. He was known for "baiting" male co workers into having sex with them with the promise of a doughnut and a Dr. Pepper after word. What a sick pup.
