Of course, I'll have to do that on the web. AM stations nown here in the
Benighted South broadcast "All Right Wing--All The Time". Does anyone
here want to take the time to tell me what happened to the old "fairness
doctrine", which used to keep this kind of junk silent?


The Supreme Court threw it out, around 1987. Not because it was
against the Constitution, but because it was done by the FCC and
exceeded the bounds of their enabling legislation. A fair minded
Congresscould reinstate it. (Sigh, fat chance ...)
