Where's the Fairness Line?

Seth Gitell demonstrates that he's more insightful while channel-surfing than most of us are at full concentration, asking how Rudy Giuliani's appearance in a History Channel documentary doesn't trigger the Fairness Doctrine of equal time for candidates.

It's a great question. And I'm sure cable-land is full of documentaries in which John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Tommy Thompson, and others appear as talking heads. Maybe the mafia doc Gitell was watching wasn't worth a challenge, but something surely will be.

    When are we going to begin investigating reporters like David Bernstein. Shouldn't we know when reporters fail to report the truth and report distorted lies. It is time to look into Bernstein's stories and find out what is accurate and what is not.
