Let's get back to basic Bill of Rights type stuff

Like free speech, which we, the American citizens, are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights:
The First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Patrick Henry giving his speech, "Give me liberty, or give me death."
Have you heard of the Fairness Doctrine? Well, it is a law, supported by some Democrats, that would ensure, through federal regulators, that radio stations presented both sides of any issue "fairly"-- as in equal time for both sides of the argument.
This, of course, did (in the past) and would, if re-enacted, present grave problems with our freedom of speech. Free speech means you can put on your radio station whatever you wish to put on your radio station. It's a free country, after all.
Well, the Fairness Doctrine is a legislative effort. A very unpopular one.
So President Obama has turned to "executive action" by appointing a chief diversity officer at the Federal Communications Commission. This brand new post is occupied by Mr. Mark Lloyd, who previously was a Fellow in the left-leaning Center for American Progress. He co-authored, in 2007, a paper entitled "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio". In this, Mr. Lloyd decried the overwhelming popularity of conservative radio programs. Mr. Lloyd and fellow authors proposed several remedies in order to have more "progressive" talk radio, including fines that would go to Public Broadcasting.
This was of such concern that Senator Grassley of Iowa wrote to the Chairman of the FCC. Senator Grassley writes that "I do not believe that more regulation, more taxes or fines, or increased government intervention in the commercial radio market will serve the public interest or further the goals of diversifying the marketplace. I am concerned that...Mr. Lloyd supports a backdoor method of furthering the goals of the Fairness Doctrine by other means."
