Sit down before you read this… I would love to see the return of the Fairness Doctrine. That is right, love to see it.

I would be more than willing to sacrifice talk radio, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and other conservative leaning media in order to get some balance of opinion from ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Seattle Times, The P.I., Good Morning America, The View, 60 Minutes, National Public Radio, 98% of all newspaper editorial boards, almost every college campus, teachers unions, labor unions…. what was that? The hell you say… it only applies to talk radio? Well that does not seem fair.

Never mind.

Today's Seattle Times letters to the editor page ran this:

Union ruling

WEA acted in good faith

Editor, The Times:

Under inflammatory headlines, but without an underlying basis of factual support, two recent editorials attacked the Washington Education Association after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the union ["Slapdown of WEA," Times, Opinion, June 15, and "WEA ducks and weaves after Supreme Court loss," Times, Opinion, June 19].

For the record, the Supreme Court decision was narrow, finding only that provisions of Washington campaign-finance law regulating union spending are constitutional. The court did not find, as The Times implies, that the WEA violated or intended to violate the law. Indeed, evidence presented in lower courts shows that the WEA made every good-faith effort to fully abide by an ambiguous and internally inconsistent set of rules.
