Nothing fair in 'Fairness Doctrine'

Dimitri Vassilaros, my Greek compatriot from the western end of Pennsylvania, does an excellent job of exposing the attempt from the far left to silence conservative talk radio by bringing back the much-maligned "Fairness Doctrine."

Vassilaros says the odds are good that the "Fairness Doctrine" will be back if Democrats win the White House and expand their control of Congress, but "the public should do everything in its power to drive a wooden stake through its heart."

From his column:

The Fairness Doctrine is evil disguised as goodness. It's fair in the same way the communist Chinese government is fair about airing various points of view at Tiananmen Square. No one gets to speak his mind. The government's doctrine ensures that no one voice dominates that public forum.
