The so-called ‘fairness doctrine’ would supposedly bring ‘balance’ to the airwaves and many Democrats on Capitol Hill have been doing considerable saber rattling for its revival, including Michigan’s own junior Senator, Debbie Stabenow (whose husband had an ownership stake in the failed Air America Network).

But the more the Dems talk, the more the American public don’t like what they are hearing apparently. Rasmussen reports a significant decline in the number of those polled who support the revival of the ‘fairness doctrine’:

Just 38% of U.S. voters think that the government should require all radio stations to offer equal amounts of conservative and liberal political commentary.

Forty-seven percent (47%) oppose government-imposed political balance on radio stations, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure which course is better.

These findings are a dramatic nine-point drop-off in support for the Fairness Doctrine from a survey last August when 47% said the government should require all radio and television stations to offer balanced political commentary.
