    "Fairness doctrine"

    I know of no Democrats in office, Liberal or otherwise, who are actually trying to bring this back whatsoever. The only people who are talking about 'bringing it back' in any way whatsoever... are Conservatives who keep bringing it up as a strawman to show how evil all these (non-existent) Democrats are that are "trying to bring it back."

    So, when you say, "That's a very good question" to someone who asks how dare Democrats try to bring it back, no, it isn't a very good question, it is a bullshit concern troll question, and to dignify it with any kind of response other than calling it out for the bullshit that it is pretty much marks the respondee as just as much of a bullshitter as the questioner.

    Name one U.S. Congressman or Senator that is actively trying to reintroduce the fairness doctrine.

    Hmm..? No? *crickets chirping* Camille, your response?
