WND co-founder and Editor Joseph Farah, author of "Stop the Presses!," will be a guest tonight on the Fox News Channel show "Hannity and Colmes" to discuss the Fairness Doctrine and the attack on talk radio.
The program airs at 9 p.m. Eastern and is repeated at midnight.
Farah also will talk about the subject Thursday on the nationally syndicated Laura Ingraham radio show.
The new issue of WND's acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, "THE WAR ON TALK RADIO," reports talk radio – from Rush Limbaugh to the local talker in small-town America – is under major attack in Congress.
The controversial "Fairness Doctrine" would legally require that views expressed on a radio talk show be "balanced" with opposing views – a surefire formula for destroying talk radio, critics contend. But beyond the "Fairness Doctrine," which was defeated – for the time being – a few weeks ago, Sen. John Kerry has gone so far as to call for bringing back the equal-time provisions. That would mandate not just "fairness" in broadcasts – by forcibly requiring that "conservative" views be balanced with "liberal" views – but actual minute-for-minute, second-by-second measurements of what is said on the public airwaves.
