No. Some little Act that was passed through the federal Congress does not over rule the First Amendment!

Environmentalism may be said to be unpatriotic.

O yeah, sure, I mean, the feds are always breaking down my door at 3AM & confiscating my bank records. Why just the other day I got stopped for not saluting the US flag. The us has turned into NAZI Germany.

No. It merely monitors, it does not suppress at all. Clear and present danger my friend.

no

but the fairness doctrine is

Before you criticize, read the act. There is nothing harmful to anyone except the bad guys in the act.
