More of that and less of this, with just a bit more of the other thing.

littlett's: Jaxotea: Someone asked a silly question (fairness doctrine only applies to talk radio) and then the mod's took a nap and left the tread unattended.

Alternatively chaos theory in action.

Then whay did the mods put up the posting rules?

I knew at one time we were all supposed to get "a little talk" about things. Or at least I thought so.

/very confused.


check the time stamp on the Moderator's post (03:12:07) - most the the tread had happened by then.

So, your are telling me that some things haven't changed.

Gameshot911: Lmao...how the hell do you have a pic like this. Either you had this stored somewhere on your computer, in which case, what the fark were you doing with this pic on your computer? Else you actually somehow did a search for "tits on back", and not only that but there was a picture that perfectly fit the search. Either way, posts like yours are the reason I love the internet.

Saw it posted in another TFD quite recently, couldn't find the thread again, so yeah, I GIS'd "back boobs" and there it was.

I'd have to say about 50% of those rules were broken in this thread...

isn't that what that politics meter is supposed to show? how they enforce the fairness doctrine on the internet? for every blog? and every messageboard? with radio, there is only a limited number of stations and bandwidth to keep track of. the internet is much larger, more dynamic, much harder to control. the big sites will be easier to control, but then they will lose their following when the controls come and the controls will have to follow the audience as they bounce from site to site.

after reading the thread, i realize no one knows what the fairness doctrine is.

wow. considering the flame wars on politics threads, i am shocked at the lack of knowledge about this. i thought farkers were more informed.

it requires equal points of view on political issues. for every liberal view presented, an equal neocon view must be presented within the same show/ thread/ event/ etc.

The fairness doctrine in its current form is to silence conservative talk radio.

Fark is very liberal, so it will have no effect on them at all.

Until Republicans are back in office.

The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was (in the FCC's view) honest, equitable, and balanced. The United States Supreme Court has upheld the Commission's general right to enforce such a policy where channels are limited, but the courts have generally not considered that the FCC is obliged to do so.[1] The FCC has since withdrawn the Fairness Doctrine, prompting some to urge its reintroduction through either Commission policy or Congressional legislation.[2]

suckers. I bringing you guys back on topic.

For context, it is expected that with the election of Obama, the dems in power will reinstate the fairness doctrine. Generally, democrats are for it, and republicans are against it. It is mostly directed at talk radio, which tends to be republican dominated. among the noted supporters of the fairness doctrine:

Nancy Pelosi - FOR FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
Richard Durbin - FOR FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
John Kerry - FOR FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) - FOR FAIRNESS DOCTRINE

All I have to say is that this had better not turn into a sponsoring free-for-all, or I will be most PUT OUT.
