Not My Ox

Time recently had a short bit about the Fairness Doctrine. After a quick history, they cheerfully note it's not that big a deal either way, and end saying:

If history's any indication, the Fairness Doctrine will rear its head again.

The Supreme Court has exempted newspapers and magazines from right-to-respond laws. If it hadn't, I bet Time wouldn't be quite so sanguine about the return of the Fairness Doctrine. More likely we'd be treated to a fiery cover story claiming the republic's in danger.
