Thanks to the presidencies of Ronald Regan’s and both Bush’s, the Fairness Doctrine and such similar rules that guaranteed people the airtime to refute personal attacks and for political candidates to be given opportunities to offer opposing political editorial have nearly all been abolished.

Yes, after almost six decades of change in the media, the original Fairness Doctrine may be a bit outdated, but its intent is still important. Allowing those who can afford access to broadcast media to be the only viewpoints heard shifts the balance of free speech.

The only way for speech to be free is for the mediums that communicate speech to be equally accessible to all who would speak. How do you propose to make that happen?

Well, the reason nobody is making that argument is because it’s absurd. The “progressive side” stands for everything the founding fathers went to war with England over.

The “progressive side” stands for defending:
- Free speech and freedom of the press which the Conservative have worked very hard at limiting through their Big Brother attempts to monitor and curb the freedoms of the internet and their monetary control over the media. It is absurd when we have to get news vital to understanding how our government is working via England our ancient enslaver.

- Freedom of religion which the Conservatives have morphed into freedom for Judeo-Christian religion.
- The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments which the Conservative based “Patriot Act” has shredded.

The Conservatives have spent decades working on ways to interpret the Constitution in such a manner as to take us back to pre-Revolutionary times where the State held supreme authority and the right to dissent did not exist. The left is simply trying to go back to the basics of reading and interpreting the Constitution to make their case for coming back into balance.
