Well, since the Fairness Doctrine has zero censorship it is hard to make a comparison between it and the RW attempts to censor, such as:

The threatened boycott of the Reagan Movie which was so successfully censored it still, fifteen years later, has never been seen on TV.

The firing of Dan Rather for making an honest mistake whereas Rush, Hannity, and O`Reilly among others on the RW have made worse lies about the Clintons and Obama.

Bush admin`s Freedom of Speech zones, blocks away from any event. The RW attacks on any news purveyor that attempted to get to the bottom of 9/11, the Iraq fiasco, the secret Cheney energy mtgs, Yellow Cake lie, WMD, etc.

Face it, the Bush admin has been all about censorship, manipulation of the truth, and outright lies.

America has spoken in a landslide election and the lies of the Bush admin and the RW media are no longer acceptable.

    The fairness doctrine is nothing about censorship, you can say anything you want. The lies the right wing spew will be refuted from now on.

  "Well, since the Fairness Doctrine has zero censorship "
  
  censorship : "to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable " - webster
  
  So having 2 hours before and now only 1 hour to say your views is not censorship because you are forced to show the other side? Is that not SUPPRESSING OR DELETING anything considered objectionable?
