The reason that the Fairness Doctrine targets conservative talk show hosts more than liberal talk show hosts is that nobody listens to liberal talk radio. Radio station operators would have to host the liberal talk show hosts who get fewer listeners, and thus would have to charge less advertising money during those segment. It's much easier (and more profitable) for the station to just dump the conservative talk show host.
