Edward Everett Hale, a chaplain on Capitol Hill for the early 1900s and a celebrated writer, was once asked, “Do you pray for the senators?” Hale replied, “No. I look at the senators and pray for the country.” Many of us have felt the same way with the heated climate in politics. The latest reasons to pray are demands to resurrect the fairness doctrine, an effort to regulate the media that thankfully died under the weight of its own absurdity. It had forced radio and television outlets to offer opposing views on all issues. Who would not want fairness? But in reality, the policy was more effective at dropping coverage than balancing it.
