Tom Finnigan makes the case that the content of talk radio is not nearly as black and white as the proponents of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" like to claim. Not that this nuanced picture of talk radio will gain credence anytime soon; it is far easier to paint the talk radio world as some sort of bastion of right-wing thought than to discuss the more complicated truth concerning talk radio's content. It is also far more convenient a line for those who wish to implement the Fairness Doctrine anew. As valuable as Finnigan's analysis is, his arguments are--for the moment, anyway--lost in the cacophony of misinformation concerning talk radio and the appropriateness of implementing the Fairness Doctrine.
