Fairness Doctrine would muzzle truth from the airwaves Urge your member of congress to support the Broadcaster Freedom Act

H.R. 2905, The Broadcaster Freedom Act, introduced by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), would prohibit the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) from reinstating the so-called Fairness Doctrine, a former FCC policy that the agency revoked in 1987. The policy required broadcasters to air contrasting viewpoints about controversial issues of public importance (as decided by FCC bureaucrats) or risk losing their license. For example, pro-life stories would need to include comments from Planned Parenthood or another pro-abortion group. It stifled speech which is guaranteed in the Constitution, and yet because talk radio tends to be conservative, those who come from the Leftist end of the political continuum want to do what they can to muzzle it and stifle it.

The Democratic leadership in Congress is now maneuvering to bring back this Fairness Doctrine, which would require the nation's TV and radio broadcasters to make time for voices on both sides of controversial issues. According to Rep. Pence, "The Broadcaster Freedom Act would ensure that no future President could regulate the airwaves of America without an act of Congress."

I wouldn’t look for it to happen, but it would be good if the 300 who promised Pence they would support it would sign so it can go forward, as only 190 have signed it as of Sat.
Bush said he would sign it, but it takes time to get to Senate and approved so they need to get moving.

The FCC and DEM congress members have resurrected this idea in past year or so, as they oppose Christian and Conservative Broadcasters and want to water them down by making them present both sides of an issue...it’s absurd.
