According to a new Rasmussen poll 47% of our fellow Americans believe television and radio should offer equal time to conservative and liberal commentary. If that’s not bad enough 31% believe it should also apply to the web! Who are these people?
According to Rasmussen-
With the Congress expected to stay firmly under Democratic control, the responses of those who plan to vote for the party’s presidential candidate Barack Obama versus his Republican opponent John McCain suggest what direction the Fairness Doctrine debate is likely to take in the coming year. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of likely Obama voters believe the government should make all radio and TV stations offer equal amounts of conservative and liberal commentary, as opposed to 40% of potential McCain voters who feel that way. But 63% of McCain voters and 53% of Obama voters reject similar regulation of web sites and bloggers.
So almost half of Obama’s voters believe government control of web content is a good idea. Here’s a novel idea, if you don’t like what you hear on the radio, turn the station! If you don’t like what you read online click out! No government intervention required.
