Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) wants to be the next American president, but with Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) widely expected to enter the race, his chances of winning even the Democratic nomination are bleaker than a rainy Ohio afternoon. But Kucinich still has a bit of power in Congress, and he wants to use it to resurrect a one-time FCC rule called the "Fairness Doctrine" that requires broadcasters to make time available for the airing of opposing viewpoints. Not surprisingly, plenty of people have an "opposing viewpoint" of their own on the Kucinich plan.
