Momentum for the Fairness Doctrine
Momentum appears to be building for Kucinich's idea to revive the Fairness Doctrine and "balance the airwaves" of talk radio. Nevermind the pros and cons of such a policy. The only important thing to know is this: bringing up the Fairness Doctrine will mobilize right-wing talk radio listeners. Don't Kucinich and these other politicians see that? Don't they realize that merely suggesting this sort of regulation is picking a fight on someone else's turf?
Politically the way to deal with an oppnent is to bore them, to keep them unmotivated, and to be somewhat friendly to them. The Fairness Doctrine is instead a declaration of war. And it's a war against a group that Democrats managed to defeat in the 2006 elections. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Can't wait for Dennis to hold hearings on the matter.
