The Fairness Doctrine...

In another thread on DU, reinstating The Fairness Doctrine was mentioned. Who here on DU knows what's involved? I've wondered for quite some time why some of our Billionaires haven't bought some of these stations that spew such hatred that Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. have been engaging in for years.

Thanks for anyone's input....

So upsetting....Cunningham just called Tillis to concede

the Senate race in N. Carolina! This is one of the races where Cunningham was way ahead but then there was a seemingly not-a-big deal scandal so I guess he slipped behind?!

They were REALLY close in this race- I mean Tillis @ 48.7% and Cunningham @ 47%. What the F is going on with this!?!?Does anyone have any ideas? (MSNBC - Ayman Mohyeldin @ around 12:30 p.m. P.S.T.)

Can you guys (who're interested) PLEASE give me your opinions on the severe,

and pathological genesis of Mitch McConnell's true purpose regarding these judges?

His wife has loads of money so I'm not inclined to think it's that. I listened to a great podcast about him on NPR a couple of months ago and he's not a religious fanatic.

In all seriousness, I'm truly interested in what propels him. Also, I saw the phenomenal presentation given by Sheldon Whitehouse which was eye-opening and chilling..

Thank you....

Can we trade Chuck Todd

for Jake Tapper?

Can someone explain to me how the legislative process

would work as opposed to rulings by SCOTUS regarding cases/situations such as marriage equality (gay marriage)?

Thanks to anyone for your feedback....

Yikes! I'm just now hearing Diane Feinstein at the hearings.....

....................PLEASE, retire............... Governor Newsome can appoint someone.....

And, I just watched Sheldon Whitehouse's unbelievably amazing presentation......... I have a good friend who watches everything and then saves and shows me the highlights or lowlights....

Amy Coney Barrett....

At one point I had heard and read that the committee would have to be in person but I see that's not happening.

I want to get back to some folks I had discussed this with. Were they able to change the rules?

I appreciate any feedback...

About Upthevibe

I've been a member of DU since the very beginning....after that horrible fiasco - the sElection of 2000. My first user name was Lindsey, then I changed it to Nirvana555, and now it's Upthevibe. I had devices crash and I ended up having to change my user name. I've never been one to make a whole lot of original posts, but I consider myself a very active member in that I come to DU almost every day and read the wonderfully informative threads. I can't imagine what life would have been like over the past two decades without DU!
