Is there a petition to band chiristian broadcasting?.?

Question

I got this email and the subject says "Removal of Joyce Meyers and other Pastors".it states that a pettion has been presented to the FCC. to band christian broadcasting from tv and radio. Then it requests me to sign and my name and foward the email. Does anyone know if this is true or an email pettion hoax?

Answer 1

the closest thing to that would be the so called 'Fairness Doctrine". That was a law that used to be in effect which made any broadcast give equal time to different sides of political issues. It used to apply to TV and radio but now some people who want it enacted but only agaisnt radio shows and not TV shows. The reason for that is because most of the conservative political shows are on radio and they want to cut down on those views and add liberal views there. This is a type of censorship tageting radio. If people want to listen to liberal or conservative radio the market should dictate which will be supported not the government.

The other thing is that some of those big ministries were being investigated on their tax record without proof by a coulpe of congressman. You have to have some evidence not just guesses to investigate anyone. again the goverment is overeaching here.

Answer 2

Never heard of it.  Sounds silly.

Answer 3

It's "ban" not "band." That is not real, and is most likely a chain e-mail started by Christians in order to continue the persecution complex and keep the passion alive.

Answer 4

Don't know, they are going to go to far sooner or later.
