Drum doesn’t understand why GOP acolytes are huffing and puffing about the Fairness Doctrine:
So why are conservatives in such a tizzy about this? It’s a mystery. There do appear to be a few members of Congress who think it’s a shame we got rid of the Fairness Doctrine, but as near as I can tell, "few" equals four or five in the Senate and maybe a dozen in the House. There are probably more Republicans who believe in a return to the gold standard than there are Democrats who seriously want to reimpose the Fairness Doctrine.
An unhealthy longing for victimhood? Or pure paranoia? Neither explanation is encouraging.
