  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is the fairness Doctrine fair?

I do not support the status quo fairness doctrine. What is the point? The censor the right?

The right is a defense of what is, which, essentially makes it have to defend itself against every radical or activist viewpoint, and that is ridiculous.

Rather, I would prefer to see media be required to present a humanist or conservative viewpoint... One that explains positions from the perspective of typical morality, which is a perspective largely lost in the US media of today... It is also lost in entertainment programing and advertisements, all of which have been recently shown to destroy the morality of children, and thereby, we can extrapolate that there is some damage to adult morality as well.

When the left considers what has occurred in the media, it must consider the deep injustice that has been done to the right...

For instance, when one presents marriage in a historical and natural light, as what it is and has been, why do they have to show another side? That makes no sense. BUT, when an activist come in claiming that their rights are violated... which is an attack on both conservatives and the current system, then those systems should be allowed a defense. The fairness doctrine as it has been applied in the past amounts to forced defamation. And the leftist media amounts to unchallenged defamatory language.

Enjoy!
