Actually I think it is. If the Networks were spewing anti-black or anti-Jewish propaganda, you would see immediately that it is in the public interest for the Government to put a stop to it.
The media spews anti-conservative propaganda every single day, but because conservatives have become social pariahs in the media circles, people think it should be permitted for the media to keep expressing these positions without conservatives having a right to an equal voice.
The media is a vote manipulating machine. That's what it has become. By censoring or attritting one sides ability to reach the public, it manipulates elections. That is why they do it.
And it is long past time that we started talking about putting a stop to it.
Again........ an emotional response to the problem. The federal government doesn't have the right to force 'fairness' on the media, and when it does, it is leftist defiance of the Constitution.
You are advocating that the Fed make the bias stop. That is a liberal solution, and untenable according to the Founders.
Where will your emotionalism end? When the government forces college professors to be "fair?" When every TV show slanted left (most, to all of them) are censored and made to be "fair" to Republicans?
It can't work. It shouldn't work. It's not conservative. It's not rational.
