Donald Trump spoke to the media at the Trump Turnberry Golf Course in Scotland in June. Cramer does not have a hearing on the books; his letter indicated that he has not even requested one. The broadcast license awarded to you by the Federal Communications Commission is on behalf of the citizens. It is unclear how Cramer would attempt to enforce his notions of media fairness. Sean Hannity called the Fairness Doctrine an “assault on the First Amendment.” Newt Gingrich's term was “Affirmative Action for liberalism.”The Senate voted 87-11 in 2009 to prohibit reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine — an indication of just how reluctant Congress is to crack down on the media.
