Fairness Doctrine?

After Trent Lott's comment on Talk Radio, the Left has apparently declared open season on the format. The tool to destroy the main medium of conservatives is the concept of fairness and equal time. How can you argue with fairness and equal time? The left has always been good at couching the repression of free speech as cotton candy clouds and lollipop suns.
The idea that people should be able to preempt a talk show to ensure that they are able to air the other point of view. The left knows they will lose their sponsorship and will soon be off the air. The left loves to say that the conservative shows has "fixed" talk radio so they can not compete. The bottom line , of course being, is that liberals just can not compete in talk radio. Their have been several attempts at liberal talk radio, but they have all failed to secure advertising. They even tried starting their own channel on Sirius Radio, Air America. In the end, they were not able to secure sponsorship and failed. The way to cure the bane of their existence. Their dissenting voice is to legislate it away. Luckily, if they are able to pull off the legislation, I believe the high court will strike down the blazoned assault on free speech.
The next part of it is how limited the attack is. It is designed in such a manner to attack only conservative talk radio. Why should there not be a dissenting voice in the print media. Why not network news. The Big 3 have a decidedly liberal aspect. Televised and print media are vastly liberal. Where is my voice? I would like to preempt Katie Couric and get in my ideas. If the dissenting voice is a right to be protected, then it should be applied to all mediums. Talk radio shows are private intellectual property. This property is what needs protecting from disingenuous liberal politicians in an all out bid to repress free speech.
Getting rid of talk radio is part and parcel of the liberal plan to make America communist. Implement socialist programs and repress the dissenting voice.
