"The necessity for the Fairness Doctrine, arises from the fact that there are many fewer broadcast licenses than people who would like to have them. Unlike publishing, where the tools of the trade are in more or less endless supply, broadcasting licenses are limited by the finite number of available frequencies. Thus, as trustees of a scarce public resource, licensees accept certain public interest obligations in exchange for the exclusive use of limited public airwaves. One such obligation was the Fairness Doctrine, which was meant to ensure that a variety of views, beyond those of the licensees and those they favored, were heard on the airwaves.

Why does someone have to listen to something they dont like? Turn it off if you dont agree or dont want to hear it , then you can use another one of your freedoms to put something on that will make you smile.

Whatever your views are, they should be well thought out enough to hold up when criticized by someone who disagrees with them. Most all the bad things that humans have done happened when a lack of opposing views were around. Be it Nazi Germany. Be it when The Japanese were slaughtering the people they did.

I could have listed the obvious right-wingers that object to it.

That would've made you feel better ?

As long as it's the truth I'll use any example as I please.

Why do you bring up Sharpton? I've never read anyone on here say they like him. So, how would his opinion have any worth in proving anything? After the Tawana Brawley case, it's amazing he gets any air-time at all. One of the reasons that thing in Oakland happened was a cancer like him. He has no career unless he can make it look like the police are the enemy of Black People. So, I am just asking, how is his opinion of value to anybody on here?

The Fairness Doctrine is total bullpucky ..... if you dont like hearing something dont listen to it , if you dont want to watch something dont watch it. I dont like hip hop and rap so I dont listen to those stations , but should those stations be forced to play rock because I dont like crap music , of course not. If someone doesnt like what they hear they can exercise their right to turn it the f*** off.
