Fairness Doctrine unfair
It is a sad day when a law must be made to protect constitutional rights. The Fairness Doctrine violates the First Amendment by infringing on the right of free speech and free press. No law should ever be crafted by the government to force any person or business to say what the government wants them to.
Sadly, to protect these rights, a bill is necessary. The rights to free press and free speech are the most precious rights we hold dear. If someone does not prefer a certain slant of a program then that person has the right to change that channel.
