House Speaker Nancy Pelosi need not reinstate the Fairness Doctrine for two reasons. First, we already have the "fairness" Pelosi so desperately wants. NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, and two-thirds of the nation's newspapers are almost (notice I say almost) balanced by FOX News and AM Talk Radio.
Secondly, the so called "right wing talk shows" didn't seem to have much of an impact on the last election. If you haven't noticed, the left wing seems to be alive and well. In fact, even if she is successful in bringing her brand of "fairness" to the airwaves, AM Talk hosts will probably pack up their bags and move over to satelite radio, where they will be out of reach of her and the Federal Communications Commission.
If that happens AM radio will become a wasteland, playing only music you hear in the dentist's office and elevators.
What Pelosi really wants is approved speech not free speech.
