Keep pushing a "Fairness Doctrine" and this is what you are going to get...

When they came for the radio I said nothing for I did not have a show, when they came for the bloggers there was no one left to speak... blah blah blah

FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell raised that as a possibility after talking with bloggers at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. McDowell spoke about a recent FCC vote to bar Comcast from engaging in certain Internet practices – expanding the federal agency’s oversight of Internet networks.

The poll shows that less want "Fairness Doctrine" on the internet (31% ) than on the radio/TV (47%):

Democrats are more supportive of government involvement in the airwaves than Republicans and unaffiliated voters. Fifty-four percent (54%) of Democrats favor it, and only 26% are opposed. Republicans and unaffiliated voters are fairly evenly divided.

Even Democrats say hands-off the Internet though but by a far smaller margin than Republicans and unaffiliated voters. Democrats oppose government-mandated balance on the Internet by a 48% to 37% margin. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans reject government involvement in Internet content along with 67% of unaffiliated voters.

But allow me to ask this question:

Is there a risk of a political tit-for-tat in that Democrats push a radio/TV "Fairness Doctrine" and Republicans hypocritically push for internet control?

Maybe this is a move by both parties to control the internet?

Let's see what those at "Left in Alabama" think about losing their freedom to voice their opinions. I am going to guess they will be pretty inconsistent.
