Obama has the 1st Amd. Shaking in Its Boots

Michael Barone writes about what I have been worried about if Obama wins. With a democratic House and Senate, and judges on the supreme court, freedom of speech will be under assault. First up, the Fairness Doctrine. A liberal Mainstream Media will only become more powerful under the Obama administration. Now THAT is something to be worried about.

--------------
Congressional Democrats sought to reimpose the "fairness doctrine" on broadcasters, which until it was repealed in the 1980s required equal time for different points of view. The motive was plain: to shut down the one conservative-leaning communications medium, talk radio. Liberal talk-show hosts have mostly failed to draw audiences, and many liberals can't abide having citizens hear contrary views.
