Tuesday

the "fairness doctrine" went out the window during the Reagan occupation of the White House.......along with thousands of other things, to start the ball rolling on their crusade........The Republicans have been building on it ever since, slowly chipping away at every thing they didn't want to have to tolerate........
They have been scheming this massive, horrific, Charlie Foxtrot, since they corruptly threw the election to Reagan in 1980....

The only things that are FAIR, are what THEY say are FAIR........
