More, Not Less, Information

Whatever one may think of these various issues and controversies, there are two legitimate sides to the debates and yet many national news organizations, including the "conservative" Fox News Channel, have decided to either ignore them or cover only one side. These are not insignificant or trivial matters. They concern profound issues of national and global importance that affect our lives and our country.

Under the circumstances, a federal Fairness Doctrine sounds appealing but we know that it is an initiative that is designed mainly to give "progressives" even more access to the media and increase the power they already exercise. Conservatives have to remain committed to freedom of speech and freedom of information while increasing their own pressure on the liberal and conservative media to be truly "fair and balanced."
