The Fairness Doctrine

Should We Bring It Back?
Where's the Fairness Doctrine when you need it? Do you remember the Fairness Doctrine when radio and TV broadcasters had to provide "equal time" to opposing views? That was abolished with the advent of the Internet and modern communications - including cell phones. The Federal government deemed it unnecessary because with the new media available, people could get a diverse set of opinions for the asking. They felt it was no longer necessary to force the MSM to broadcast both sides.

However, the Fairness Doctrine was abolished before it became CLEAR that the Main Stream Media (MSM) was totally biased for one political philosophy - namely Secular Progressivism (alias Socialism or Marxism). The way things stand now, most of the MSMs just working and supporting the Obama campaign.

To prove the point, look at their coverage on Obama. It's about 95% favorable no matter what he does wrong, or how big of a gaff he makes. Or the MSM just does NOT report it at all. They often IGNORE the news. No, the MSM rarely (if ever) has anything negative to publish or broadcast about Obama. So how many political points is that worth in free advertising? How much does this slanted propaganda actually influence the American public? Are they selecting the GOP candidate with THEIR BIAS? Only a small handful of the MSM is actually "Fair and Balanced" when it reports on Obama or the news!!

Hypocritical - YES
In case you haven't discovered this yet, the LEFT are hypocrites on many of the issues. They are the first to play the race card. In fact, it may be argued that THEY are the actual racists because of their abuse and misuse of that term. They are great at name calling in general. They believe that they are "objective" when it comes to Obama. Newt Gingrich says that "I understand there are places like MSNBC that are essentially the Obama re-election team."

The MSM reports the "Occupy" movement and says it's just like the Tea Party movement. That's just stupid and also a big fat lie. Bernie Goldberg's book on the "Slobbering Love Affair" illustrates numerous examples of the MSM's true bias to the hard LEFT!

Power Corrupts
Why should the MSM have all this power to influence the election? That's not fair, it's deceptive, dishonest, and certainly is Un-American! Whenever they report, we know that we cannot trust them to be telling the TRUTH. They have proven over and over that they lack objectivity and that they are no longer being HONEST with the American public. They are suppose to be one of the checks-and-balances to help keep America heading in the right direction. But this is no more... They are as corrupt as the politicians in Washington. No wonder America is in decline.

Action To Take
Don't be fooled again. If you must listen to the MSM, do so with an open mind knowing full-well that they are not giving news but their political opinion blended into the "news." That's called PROPAGANDA. Don't trust them any longer. Let them know this. Stop buying the products who support them. Read the international news on the Internet. Don't let yourself be BRAINWASHED any longer.
