Any informed person knows this is Democrats' intent, but as we see from Obama's popularity, most Americans arent informed.

WTF? Anyone watch Saturday Night Live lately? How about the interview with Chevy Chase talking about how he always had an agenda when he would portray Gerald Ford as a clumsy moron, and that was to get Carter in. Comedy Central created 'Chocolate News' because Jon Stewart didn't do well making fun of Obama, he appeared racist in doing so, so a new show was born.--I think it's great that they did that because I think it's important to be able to laugh at ourselves and each other freely, but the notion that the media is so one sided as to not give people a more liberal take on things is CRAZY!

It's not that he himself can't distinguish this, he is hoping that the uneducated masses will fail to.

Schumer is an idiot, but also he is in charge of getting more Democrats elected to Congress, and he isn't so stupid that he would pass up an opportunity to gain an advantage to that end. In general the Dems aren't to concerned about the big things because they are comfortable that they will have a huge majority in Congress and a fellow Dem in the White House. With that, there is no real barrier to them doing everything they want, when they want, without any debate.

They didn't get voted in to make Talk Radio more "Fair", this must be his idiotic pet project. I dunno if Schumer realizes that we have some wars going on, some economic contraction, some health care problems...someone should tell him.

Legal challenges could hold off the Fairness Doctrine for years. But it is noteworthy how tyrants always move to shut down the opposition media: Putin, Chavez, Mugabe, Castro... the Democrats are following in the Marxist tradition.
