It is your preference to believe what you wish. I don't believe it's your "preference" to dominate the opinions expressed on the public airwaves at the exclusion of competing views, especially when those views are regulated by the government using limited public resources (frequency bandwidth).
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but your preference is to not hear political opinions you disagree with by excluding them from the public discourse via broadcast media, or at least your defending that notion.
It is no more my preference to monopolize with my own views than to allow others to do the same.
If the broadcast does not contain political opinion or personal attacks, then the Fairness Doctrine would not apply.
