(31,706 posts)Define "Fairness". Whose? Yours? Mine? Roger Ailes? It's a subjective word when you come to discussing issues and why such an idea could never be workable. Would you propose having every person who appears on camera to have their words checked either before they go on the air or in real time...and then by whom?
While Bullshit Mountain deliberately misleads their ilk, those people tune in by free will. No one forces them to watch and they have chose to close their minds...imposing "fairness" will not change that mindset. The only way is in the marketplace of ideas. The party that sells its ideas better wins (as we saw last week).
Lastly...thank goodness we don't have government censorship over political speech. Imagine how that could be used in the wrong hands...
