Disconnect

The "fairness doctrine" is making a comeback and the recent House and Senate wins by Democrats are adding fuel to that fire, just as some have predicted.

That's not about regulating content, that's about regulating ownership and it's an entirely different thing. The fairness doctrine applies to the regulation of what is actually broadcast. It doesn't say anything about who owns what's broadcast.

- sterno, on DailyKos

Here's a good one: some moron talking about how the state telling a broadcaster what to do with his or her property isn't really a matter of ownership. Naw, it's just telling what the property owner can do with his or her property. Totally different things.

Happy Friday, folks.
