Fairness Doctrine Gone? I may faint!

The first decent thing has come out of the Obama administration in three years. The FCC has struck down the Fairness Doctrine rule! I cannot believe that he has allowed the FCC to throw away one of their base weapons against free speech, but I am so happy that they have. Of course I am suspicious, but for now .. rejoice.

I have to hand it to the libs, they figured out how to take a good thing, like diversity of opinion, and turn it into a weapon. They do this all over the place, and I think they learned it from the lawyers. One of the tricks of the legal world is called flooding. When you have to turn over a document due to the discovery process, and you don't want to, what you do is put it in the middle of about 10,000 other documents that are completely irrelevant and hope that they opposition team can't find the needle in the haystack.

They do the same thing with speech. If you want to put your viewpoint forward, that's fine, but you must include the other 10,000 viewpoints that are out there too. Hopefully your viewpoint gets lost in the shuffle. Now, we don't have to do that. Your voice can ring loud and true throughout the air, without the interferance of the other viewpoints. They can speak too, if they have the wherewithall to get up and do something.
