The Fairness Doctrine? Really? I was surprised to see this righty boogeyman make an appearance in your column. I enjoy your writing exactly because I believe that you are bigger than any of the boxes that people try to fit you into, feminist, et al. But the Fairness Doctrine, whatever you think of its mertis has NO SERIOUS CHANCE OF COMING BACK. EVER. When the Obama administration is over and there is still no Fariness Doctrine being enforced, the right will crow and say "Thank God we opposed this censorship with all our might!" But in reality, no one of any consequence is seriously talking about bringing this back and the chances of it happening compared to the volume of outrage on the right is really uncalled for. Color me disappointed in you, Ms Paglia for joining in the faux-outrage.
