or whatever nice name they title it, since the Libs want to reinstate it.
This was brought up on Fox News this morning and there are Democrats behind bringing it back.

Shawn Hannity and Mark Levin both warned of this, but I don't think
they are going to take it lying down. The main motive behind reistating it is to quiet Conservative Talk Radio.

Golly, if Bush was so bad, why didn't he want to quiet LIBERAL Talk Radio?

There's no need to quiet liberal talk radio, nobody listens to it.

I thought 'someone' might, since Ed Schulz was in the front row
during Obama's so-called press conference. You know, the one
where Helen Thomas asked a question about the 'so-called' terrorists... :p

Obama doesn's support it, so I think it would have an extremely difficult time making it through Congress.

I might have had a purpose at one time, but access to media today is so broad that I think it is a silly idea.

"That is why Sen. Obama supports media-ownership caps, network neutrality, public broadcasting, as well as increasing minority ownership of broadcasting and print outlets."

"Network Neutrality" is within itself the Fairness Doctrine, isn't it?

This guy is talking out of both sides of his mouth again.

"Increasing Minority Ownership"...... :roll: who's stopping them? :roll:

Maybe I'm missing something, but how is net neutrality related to the fairness doctrine?
