    I assume that the fairness doctrine will encompass all broadcasting, but somehow I think the only target is talk radio. Will it mean that every time a network or cable news program reports about global warming that it will also have to report from opposition to the theory. I doubt it. Does it mean that anytime a news anchor refers to Bush the liar that it will have to be countered with someone who does not believe that he lied? Somehow I doubt it. Apparantly broadcast news will become a thing of the past, or be extended to continuous so that all opinions on all subjects can be covered. Sure it will.
