The Fairness Doctrine

Yes, it violates the 1st Amendment. If that isn't enough (although it certainly should be), I believe Scott had a great point with the hypothetical situation of 90% of the public sharing one ideology with only 10% of the public feeling differently. Is it then "fair" to devote half of the reporting to cover this minority stance? In today's world, countless outlets provide coverage for every opinion, and I also am reluctant to support governmental involvement (i.e. potential censorship) in the press.

No me gusta el Fairness Doctrine.
