To begin, the so-called fairness doctrine was put to rest by the
FCC several years ago in an effort to get the government off the
private sector's back.  The only real control the FCC maintains
is the regulation of frequency allocation in order to keep down
the overriding of stations.  In your argument against the Rev
Mac., you fail to mention the other side of the coin in that
radio station WBAI in New York kept its license although they
were under the gun for exactly the same infractions of the rules,
but from the other side.  That action leaves me to wonder why
everything the current administration does is labeled facist
by Sevener, yet the self same administration cut the legs from
under Rev Mac., yet only gave WBAI, a supposed commie front,
was given the green light?
