Yes, freedom of speech is more important than trying to impose "fairness," which is always open to interpretation. The "Fairness Doctrine" may have had its place when the publicly-own broadcast spectrum was a the main channel for mass-media. If the government is going to say who gets and keeps a broadcast license, then the government is responsible for some level of fairness. But now it is almost becoming a moot point because all the other non-licensed media channels such as cable, internet, satelite, etc. are overtaking licensed broadcast.
