...starters, the only medium that they ever wish to see put under the yoke of the doctrine’s jurisdiction is talk radio. This singling out of a particular form of media seems arbitrary, but it takes little time or effort to discover what makes radio different from print, television, and the Internet: its domination by the right wing. Indeed, one never sees liberals calling for the Fairness Doctrine to be applied to the opinion page of the New York Times, MSNBC, or the blogosphere; the dearth of right-wing commentary in these outlets is not a mere coincidence...

But the Eagle had also taken the Philippines as a possession, and by 1899 was waging war against Filipinos who were trying to establish a republic. "Why, we have got into a mess," Twain told the Chicago Tribune, "a quagmire from which each fresh step renders the difficulty of extrication immensely greater." The contemporary ring of that assessment is heightened by statistics. By 1902, when Philippine...
