1. The Fairness Doctrine could be resurrected and rewritten to assure a
balance of voices/opinions are heard on the public airwaves.

So, why doesn't the government also require newspapers to have a balance
of
voices and opinions?

Did you read the last two words -- public airwaves? Spectrum
was considered a limited resource and government permission was
required to use it. In return, conditions were imposed.

Why are these conditions a good idea?

If these conditions are a good idea, why aren't they a good idea for all the
sources of a person's information?


There is no apparent shortage of newsprint for purchase.


Oh. Is that the only reason we don't have a fairness doctrine for the
newspapers?
