What?
Seriously?
The guy who accepted millions of dollars in fraudulent campaign donations, the guy who disabled basic security checks on internet donations in order to facilitate that fraud, the guy who refuses to release basic documents about his birthplace, schooling, or health records, the guy who brought the John Kerry flip-flop back into style, the guy whose campaign facilitated brutal, unwarranted attacks on Sarah Palin and Samuel Wurzelbacher, the guy who first nationalized the use of Chicago-style politics…
A much higher ethical level?
Really?
Of course, the same guy is arguing for the return of the “fairness doctrine,” perhaps one of the most blatant violations of the First Amendment dreamed up in recent history, and a key component in any leftist’s dreamworld. So maybe he’s not the foremost expert on the topic of ethics.
Still, I can’t help but shake the feeling he’s not the only one taking this brand of crazy pills.
what is the fairness doctrine?
In short, it’s a policy that allows the FCC to enforce broadcast media (specifically radio) to only present “controversial issues of public importance” – such as, oh, presidential elections – in a way that gives neither side of the issue more exposure or endorsement. This would mean that a local talk radio station that played, for instance, Rush Limbaugh, would then have to air, for instance, Al Franken after that to provide that “balance.”
