No Fairness in the Fairness Doctrine

Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson

About the program:

Congressional Democrats are seeking to reinstate the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," a 1940s-era regulation that required the nation's TV and radio broadcasters to offer airtime to opposing viewpoints on controversial issues. Many of today's conservative talk-show hosts and Christian broadcasters say this latest proposal is an attempt to silence them. If a Christian radio program offered a biblical perspective on homosexuality, stations would, under the Fairness Doctrine, be compelled to offer airtime to a pro-gay point of view. Today's broadcast presents a closer look at legislative attempts to restrict freedom of speech, as well as a recorded message in which President George W. Bush discusses his intention to veto any bill that would silence conservative voices.

"By insisting on so-called 'balance,' [proponents of the Fairness Doctrine] want to silence those they don't agree with. The truth of the matter is, they know they cannot prevail in the public debate of ideas." - President George W. Bush
