Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is "looking at" bringing back the Fairness Doctrine, a controversial policy designed to ensure equal time for all political viewpoints on radio, but criticized by many as resulting in the opposite result.

When asked by Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" if she would revive the measure, said, "Well, I'm looking at it, as a matter of fact, Chris, because I think there ought to be an opportunity to present the other side. And unfortunately, talk radio is overwhelmingly one way."

Wallace pointed out, "But the argument would be it's the marketplace, and if liberals want to put on their own talk radio, they can put it on. At this point, they don't seem to be able to find much of a market."

Feinstein responded: "Well, apparently, there have been problems. It is growing. But I do believe in fairness. I remember when there was a fairness doctrine, and I think there was much more serious correct reporting to people."

The Democrat said talk radio tends to be one-sided.

"It also tends to be dwelling in hyperbole. It's explosive. It pushes people to, I think, extreme views without a lot of information."

Among the targets of leftist Democrats is conservative champion Rush Limbaugh, the most-listened to host in the history of talk radio, who has railed against in the Fairness Doctrine for years.

I have an idea...maybe we can attempt to aim this at TV News Media? Oh wait, that would not work in the liberal's favor, considering that almost all TV News Media is not fair or balanced, and is currently Left/Liberal/Democrat. Talk about not being fair? With conservative's pretty much only having their view point expressed on talk radio and blogs, the liberals now even want to take that away, because it's a threat to them! Why is it a threat? Because like it or not, the majority of Americans lean towards the conservative side, and agree with conservative radio. Unfortunately, not enough speak up nearly as much as the liberals do.
