Son: Tired of worries about the "fairness doctrine"
two things (copied and pasted)...
"Are Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko that hard to interview?"
Yes, actually, they are. Ayers refuses to give interviews, end of story, and Rezko is under indictment. At a guess (because I can't confirm it), I would think that Rezko has been advised by his lawyers to not give any interviews at all, at least until after his trial.
I'm honestly surprised that Malone is so ignorant of those two facts that he would pose the question of "Are [they] that hard to interview?" That question has been answered again and again with a resounding "Yes, and not for lack of trying."
...and straight from obama's positions on his website:
Ensure the Full and Free Exchange of Ideas through an Open Internet and Diverse Media Outlets
- Protect the Openness of the Internet: A key reason the Internet has been such a success is because it is the most open network in history. It needs to stay that way. Barack Obama strongly supports the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet.
- Encourage Diversity in Media Ownership: Barack Obama believes that the nation's rules ensuring diversity of media ownership are critical to the public interest. Unfortunately, over the past several years, the Federal Communications Commission has promoted the concept of consolidation over diversity. As president, Obama will encourage diversity in the ownership of broadcast media, promote the development of new media outlets for expression of diverse viewpoints, and clarify the public interest obligations of broadcasters who occupy the nation's spectrum.
