The FCC once did enforce a 'fairness doctrine' on broadcasters, and some Democrats occasionally discuss bringing it back. Meanwhile, some jurisdictions (moreso in Europe) have considered creating a government-enforced 'right of reply', forcing websites to link to opposing viewpoints. And Obama advisor Sunstein has at times advocated (but wisely pulled back from) the same cross-linking and 'sidewalks' mandates that Shafer imagines being implemented: http://techliberation.com/2009/01/08/what-impact-will-cass-s... So Shafer's scenario isn't that far-fetched. |
