Life isn't fair by Anonymous :: NR0 :: on 24 July 2007

Why should we re-instate something that is opposite to what "momma always said"?

Good point. Forcing private commercial ventures to do something because somebody says it's "fair" is horrible. It's also pretty insulting that some government-types think the public is too stupid to make it without them deciding what's "fair." But, to cut through all the crap, we should all just admit that liberals want to silence conservative talk radio and that's about all there is to it. Hillary Clinton can't stand it that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity constantly expose her shape-shifting policy positions and basically marxist schemes for taxes and health-care.

Fairness v. Free Speech by guyvia :: NR5 :: on 25 July 2007

I think the results are showing what most of us on the site agree on - free speech is paramount. Although I am disappointed in many media sources to show their spin on an issue, the fact remains that forcing anyone to report a certain way under the law is suspect.

I would, however, support a Media Industry board of ethics, by which an outlet could gain certification.
