Wow, talk about obscene! Schumer says if we can regulate pornography on the airwaves, why can’t we impose the fairness doctrine?

Yes, I know he was only making the point that the government has a right regulate public airwaves.  But do you think for a minute that he wasn’t trying to take a dig at conservative talk radio with the comparison?

Let’s assume Schumer’s general point is correct.  What is undeniably true is that the First Amendment’s enunciation of the right to free speech  was designed especially for political speech, and that is precisely what Schumer et al. hope to stifle with the fairness doctrine.
