Equal Time

EQUAL TIME....Should this blog be required offer equal time to conservatives? According to a recent Rasmussen poll, nearly a third of Americans think so:

Fifty-seven percent (57%) say the government should not require websites and blog sites that offer political commentary to present opposing viewpoints. But 31% believe the Internet sites should be forced to balance their commentary.

....Democrats oppose government-mandated balance on the Internet by a 48% to 37% margin. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans reject government involvement in Internet content along with 67% of unaffiliated voters.

This doesn't happen often here, but I declare Republicans the winner of this round. Independents too. Now that's fair 'n balanced.
