Kind of conflicted!

I'm really kind of conflicted on the fairness doctrine.

On one hand I believe in free speech and free airwaves. I don't think there should be a law in place telling people what they have to put on their airwaves. We know that people have an agenda and we know that station owners have an agenda.
But the government is telling them they can't further that agenda because they have to give equal time to the viewpoint they disagree with.

I know that sounds bad but it is free trade and speech and all that good stuff.

Then on the other hand the first article we read makes a good point. Without the fairness doctrine there is nobody to balance out that conservative viewpoint on Foxnews or wherever.

But you know what? I'm still opposed to the fairness doctrine. I think it worked in an age where you only had 3-12 channels. These days there's such a wide dissemination of information and sources that it's really not feasible. You don't like what they're saying on Fox News(and you can bet i don't) then change the channel.
These days there's such a wide array of sources to get your news and opinions from on TV alone. The fairness doctrine really isn't feasible when the opposing viewpoint is a channel click away.
