No kidding - Rush and Hannity's heads would explode if they were ever required to present opposing views on the issues! Gah! BOOM! Explode, I say.
Actually how it works is for every hour of rush there has to be an hour of liberal talk. Since no one listens to those shows radio stations begin to lose money. So they are forced to switch formats and dump talk all together. The fairness doctrine is just a way to get radio stations to switch formats by forcing them to carry programming that loses money. It is just a clever way to shut up the voice of opposition.
