Keeping the Airwaves Free

The fairness doctrine is something that is causing a storm throughout the political radio airwaves. In this article, Rush Limbaugh makes his case as to why he believes that his show should not be forced to offer the other side to his political comments. As we discussed a little after class last night, I think it is highly commendable that so far President Obama has not done much to go after ensuring this doctrine gets followed considering that Democrats seem to be in a position to gain the most from such a move. Or maybe he is just afraid Democrats put on these radio shows against big GOP heavyweights will be seen as weak and unable to make coherent arguments.
