The Fairness Doctrine is neither fair nor a doctrine… discuss.

Fairness Doctrine 

1949: The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required the holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced
"The Fairness Doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented"

Interesting George Takei involvement.

Hyphenated-America

While I won't be dropping N bombs on this blog, I don't like to be PC. I hate Obama because he's a liberal, not because he's black. He's not even black anyways. He's the least black guy in the history of black guys. He's not even Tiger Woods black.

I'm more of a Jap than Obama is a black. I was actually raised by my Japanese parent. I actually speak Japanese. Does Obama speak Swahili? I doubt it. Am I a Japanese-American? Fuck no. I'm an American. I don't hyphenate my race and nationality. African-American my fuckin ass. Drop the hyphens and just be Americans.

Some people with hyphens are 3rd, 4th, 5th generation Americans. They don't speak a lick of their ancestral language, and neither did their parents. Here's a hyphen for those people: douche-bags.

It sickens me how big of a part race played in this election. Race shouldn't have ANYTHING to do with it. I just hope this election satisfied the "historical" aspect of electing someone who is not white. Would I vote for George Takei because he's Japanese? No way. I would vote for him because he's Sulu.

Takei is American by the way.
