On the recordFebruary 1, 1994
the National Religious Broadcasters has voted not to invite President Clinton to address their annual convention in Washington, DC. It is the first time a sitting President has been denied. Why? Differing views. Most important, it appears to be the Fairness Doctrine, the National Religious Broadcasters say they would lose their free speech, if they are required to run opposition views on their radio and television programs. I called the White House, and I talked to them. I asked them what the President's position is on this, and he has no position on the Fairness Doctrine. The National Religious Broadcasters would deny President Clinton his right of free speech, while defending their right of free speech. It appears one thing is for certain, they do not practice what they preach.
