Yeah, Americans losing their free speech rights would be hilarious.

I think we should start with you.

Anybody was able to say anything they wanted before and after the
Fairness Doctrine was repealed.

Baloney, people reading this news group were not born yesterday. I
remember the way things were before and after the "unfairness doctrine"
was enforced.
snip unrelated biased opinion

O yea?!

early in mass coommmunications, Talkshows and call-ins were rare but
viewpoint programs were not. In radio and TV, there were people with
timers to make sure different viewpoints were equally represented, at
least by equality in time. Perhaps there were mistakes by not having a
fully qualified guest making the response for one side or another but
never-the-less, there WAS a response and the audience was not left with
the impression that the host of the "show" was "the authority".

What we have today are groups of people who follow what they like to hear
and believe as fact, most anything said by the program moderator. There
is little if no confirmation of facts and the program host will let the
audience conjecture bogus attitudes on a subject or person when the basis
of the subject is truly unfounded.

With a fairness doctrine, no individual will loose any civil rights.
If you feel differently, please explain.

The only people I feel will loose (financially but not civilly) are the
corporations who own all the media outlets. Their gain (by keeping the
public in the dark) is simply your lose to make educated opinion or
judgment.
