More on the "Fairness Doctrine"

I was scanning the Drudge Report this evening and I cam across one bolded/red article title mentioning the Fairness Doctrine. (I have already blogged on this subject, but I feel the need for one more rant.) This article quoted FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell as mentioning birth of a new bill much like the Fariness Doctrine was possible in the future. This bill, however, would not only regulate radio, but also the internet.

Yes, the internet, the last safe haven for those of us who wish to do as we please and say what we want. A mystical realm with no rules, and no government interference (To a certain extent). This very utopia that all internet users have hepled shape is now in jeopardy because of control freaks like Pelosi in Congress. The mainstream media is already controlled by the liberals, and all we've got left is a few talk radio shows and the internet.

Any bill that would attempt to regulate what people say instantly infringes upon the First Amendment, but a bill that would try to make sure that equal time was given to both parties on already biased radio shows or blogs is horrendous.

And, to be clear here, I (usually) don't form an opinion until I've heard both sides of the story, and I like to dissect both sides, asses the pros and cons, etc, etc. But this is too far. This is verging on socialism. The next logical step is forbidding anyone to criticize the government. Please, readers, spread the word about this atrocity in an attempt to raise awareness, so the congressmen in favor of it won't be able to pull this one off.
