The Dangers of the Fairness Doctrine

I see an important role for talk radio.

It airs conservative views, but I find most mainstream news programs equally biased in support of liberal views. Talk radio is very open about its stand, and mainstream programs are more subtle about it, but this only makes the latter more effective. They choose issues that support their views, and interview mostly journalists and professors who agree with them. PBS even claims that they treat all sides of an issue, which is far from the case.
