2. I disagree
Sorry, I just can't abide by coerced "equal" time.

Should DU be required to allow RW'ers to post? Should Air America be required to air Rush's show 3 hours a day? Should MSNBC have to show O'Reilly?

3. As the article said...
many controversial subjects were avoided because of the doctrine. I suspect, since they are avoiding controversy now, things would get much worse if the doctrine were revived.

4. Agreed. This idea needs to be permanently dismissed.
