If you are a fan of Christian television and talk radio, then you know that conservative viewpoints are very well and ably represented on the airwaves. According to Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer want a "legislative fix" for that situation. They are seriously talking about legislating what you and I will and will not hear on the public airwaves.
They seek the reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," which was struck down more than a decade ago because of its serious constitutional issues.
On the surface, the "Fairness Doctrine" sounds like a good thing. It's not. When it was the policy of the Federal Communications Commission, its purpose was to provide for the airing of many different viewpoints concerning controversial issues.
In practice, it prevented broadcasters from covering these issues at all. You can imagine what this would do to Christian radio and TV: groups supporting radical Islam and Satanism could all demand equal airtime, and programs like ours could be shoved right off the airways!
I need your help to combat this dangerous ideology, and we can do it by supporting the Broadcaster Freedom Act.
This bill has been introduced in both the House of Representatives (H.R. 2905) and the Senate (S. 1748). If passed, it will forbid the FCC from reinstating the Fairness Doctrine or any similar measures.
We must make sure our representatives and senators in Congress understand the importance of supporting the Broadcaster Freedom Act.
