Haha, if you want the fairness doctrine reinstalled, there would have to be 5 more Fox News's to account for NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNBC, and others... Think about what your saying before you say it.
Also, the reason the radio is dominated by conservatives is because no one wants to listen to liberals on the air. It has been proven with Air America, it folded because it could not get any advertisers to pay for its programming.
Finally, you would trust a government agency to decide what Americans should watch? Why not follow the business model, Americans get to decide by watching what they like more often. This in turn makes the advertising fees go up, which makes more stations carry similar content. Otherwise a government agency would be forced to decide what side a person was on in the argument, and allot the same amount of time to the other side. Would you trust the government to decide what the two sides of an argument are?
I find it strange that liberals would push for reinstatement of the fairness doctrine. This would benefit the Republicans much more than the Democrats. The Republicans might dominate the radio, but the Democrats dominate the old print media and most of the cable news networks. Imagine the New York Times being forced to actually have the same number of conservative and liberal columnists! Or CBS being forced to air the conservative viewpoint every once in a while!
