Hannity coming unglued over FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. [View All]

[eagler]

Just heard Hannity commenting on Kucinich's support for the FD.He warned listeners to expect more of this and claimed that it is an effort to silence talk radio. THE TRUTH is that opposing viewpoints were silenced over the airwaves with the abbrogation of the doctrine in 1987. The purpose of the fairness doctrine is not to silence anyone but to allow for the diversity of opinion and to force accountibility for what is said. It is no coincidence the as soon as the FD was stopped in 87, Limbaugh came on the air in 1988 and things have gone down hill since.
