Fairness Doctrine

Accuracy In Media's Cliff Kincaid strongly disagrees with Sanders, Hinchey and Kucinich. In a CNS interview, he said: "Make no bones about it, they want to force the conservative media to hand over air time to liberals. When federal bureaucrats dictate the content of radio and TV shows, it's muzzling to tell them what to say and how to say it. Liberals used to dominate the media, and they are irritated there are competing voices, so now they want to reign in the conservative media using the federal government. There is no prohibition against liberal talk radio. Liberals tried talk radio and it was not successful in the market place." Is this acccuracy in media according to the right?
CNS quotes Rep. Hinchey's spokesman, Jeff Lieberson, as saying: "The political interests of media owners can have a direct and indirect effect on the way news is presented to the public, so it's important that all sides are heard. This is not an attempt to muzzle them at all," Lieberson said of conservative talk-show hosts who are opposed to the Fairness Doctrine. "They will still be heard. This will ensure that different views that are not theirs will also be heard." I agree that the media needs to give both sides of an issue the opportunity to speak so that we have enought information to make an informed decision.
