The Ugliness of Privacy Notices
"Through its lifetime, the Fairness Doctrine sometimes appeared in local and state elections. In the early 1970s, Los Angeles resident and actor George Takei ran for a seat on the city council. Takei was well known for his portrayal of Mr. Sulu on "Star Trek". His opponent cited the Fairness Doctrine, and demanded that LA television stations either provide him with free advertising, or remove "Star Trek" from the air. His claim was quickly dismissed by LA courts, and "Star Trek" remained on the air."
I wonder if a similar issue would come up with this Fred Thompson guy that all these people are so nuts about.
