Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday defended the so-called Fairness Doctrine in an interview on Fox News, saying, "I think we should all be fair and balanced, don't you?"
Schumer's comments echo other Democrats' views on reviving the Fairness Doctrine, which would require radio stations to balance conservative hosts with liberal ones.
Asked if he is a supporter of telling radio stations what content they should have, Schumer used the fair and balanced line, claiming that critics of the Fairness Doctrine are being inconsistent.
"The very same people who don't want the Fairness Doctrine want the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] to limit pornography on the air. I am for that" But you can't say government hands off in one area to a commercial enterprise but you are allowed to intervene in another. That's not consistent."
So political speech = pornography. If it wasn't apparent before. The Democrat-controlled government will be a nightmare for Americans and a complete shredding of the Constitution.
