Could this be considered the Nuclear option regarding expanding to cover Talk Radio under the Fairness Doctrine?  Speaking at the Heritage Institute, I think the FCC commish just threatened us...

 "I think the fear is that somehow large corporations will censor their content, their points of view, right," McDowell said. "I think the bigger concern for them should be if you have government dictating content policy, which by the way would have a big First Amendment problem."

"Then, whoever is in charge of government is going to determine what is fair, under a so-called ‘Fairness Doctrine,’ which won’t be called that – it’ll be called something else," McDowell said. "So, will Web sites, will bloggers have to give equal time or equal space on their Web site to opposing views rather than letting the marketplace of ideas determine that?"

McDowell told BMI the Fairness Doctrine isn’t currently on the FCC’s radar. But a new administration and Congress elected in 2008 might renew Fairness Doctrine efforts, but under another name.

You can try to put Red State shit on this site, But I won't click the links...

Shorter: take away our talk radio and we'll take away your blog...

"The Fairness Doctrine has not been raised at the FCC, but the importance of this election is in part – has something to do with that," McDowell said. "So you know, this election, if it goes one way, we could see a re-imposition of the Fairness Doctrine. There is a discussion of it in Congress. I think it won’t be called the Fairness Doctrine by folks who are promoting it. I think it will be called something else and I think it’ll be intertwined into the net neutrality debate."

The problem as I see it is that the Fairness Doctrine can be applied to all government auctioned spectrum of broadcast communications... and the Internet isn't generally considered to be the same thing. it's not broadcast media the way Radio and TV are... It's content delivered not content pushed.

However, consider ourselves warned, they will go to the matt to defend the Right Wing Echo Chamber from ever having to include both "Fairness" and "Truth"...  Their Propaganda is too important to have it otherwise.
