  • In All Fairness

    The Federal government used to regulate fairness on the airwaves, but this was abandoned in the eighties. Now some Democrats want to bring it back to curb the influence of conservative talk radio. We get two views on the issue. Plus, the week in politics, the latest on the terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow, and teen screenwriters trying to get into Hollywood.
