Christian radio - target of 'Fairness Doctrine'?

 An official with the National Religious Broadcasters says if liberals
are successful in bringing back the so-called "Fairness Doctrine,"
conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh won't be the primary target
of censorship.

 

Recently former President Bill Clinton joined the list of Democrats who
are openly calling for the reinstatement of the so-called Fairness
Doctrine or some kind of forced accountability. Senators Tom Harkin
(D-Iowa) and Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan) have both spoken favorably
about the controversial policy in recent media reports.

 

While high-profile conservative commentators like Limbaugh and Sean
Hannity have often been mentioned as "targets" of a reinstated
"fairness" policy, Craig Parshall -- senior vice president and general
counsel of the National Religious Broadcasters <http://www.nrb.org/>  --
believes Christian radio is going to be the major target.
 
 "I think when it gets down to the rubber meeting the road, it's not
going to be Rush Limbaugh who's going to be the primary target. He's the
poster boy for the issue," he contends. "It's going to be Christian
broadcasters who are not afraid sexual orientation issues from a
bibliocentric view, who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo on
issues like abortion; or Christian broadcasters who aren't afraid to be
able to compare the truth of the gospel with the false world religions
around there. And all of this is very, very politically incorrect
speech."
 
The bottom line, according to Parshall, is that Christian broadcasters
are the ones who are going to have the target on their backs when all is
said and done on the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine.
