The only reason the fairness doctrine would knock them off the air is because they lack the ability to report the news in a fair and balanced way.It's funny you republican kooks even acknowledge that Fux News is incapable of presenting the news in a fair and balanced way, so they'd be forced off the air by the fairness doctrine.
