Deborah Burlingame, a 9/11 family member who lost her brother Chip during the 9/11 attacks, spoke to media at the National Press Club about her meeting with President Obama. He said he was not at all worried about the security of the American people in bringing the detainees here. Not in the least worried about that. His reasoning was this: ‘ Al Qaeda doesn’t have conscience they’re not interested in going back and springing these guys. They’re forgotten once they are put away in our federal facilities. He said, furthermore there are so many soft targets in the United States, like a shopping mall, why would Al Qaeda go after a hard target like a federal lock up or military prison, when they could choose a soft target.’
Burlingame later added that Obama was “non-committal” about visiting Guantanamo Bay when she asked him Interior Secretary Salazar Kills Bush Offshore drilling plan Saying “we need bring sanity back into our energy policy….

Defense lobbyist William Lynn approved as deputy defense secretary. Obama waives ethics regulations by putting the ex-defense lobbyist in charge of day-to-day operations at the Pentagon. Obama violates promise to keep lobbyists out of the federal government. On his first day in office, Obama issued an executive order forcing individuals to wait two years before they could be hired for the agencies they had lobbied, violating his own executive order less than three weeks in office.
Obama appoints Gil Kerlikowske to be the nation’s new drug czar. Kerlikowske has established himself as a devoted lobbyist for every restrictive gun law proposal.

"They should have stopped the saber rattling -- should never have started it," said Obama.
Obama interfering with Israeli Government Formation The U.S. official position is that it looks forward to "working with any government," but in back-channel messages the Obama administration has made it clear it would like to see a unity government in Jerusalem over a narrow right-wing government which would in all likelihood result in a freeze in peace talks with the Palestinians. Aides to Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Friday that Washington officials did indeed relay the message while associates of Kadima chief Tzipi Livni denied receiving such a message. Obama brakes campaign promise to wait 5 days before signing any legislation on stimulus bill. Second time he broke this promise in his first month in office (Rest of the list posted at my profile page on FR)
Christ is risen and you, O Kolokotronis are a socialist troll.
It was adopted as an FCC rule in 1949, see FCC, Report on Editorializing by Broadcast Licensees, 1949. The legislation referenced in the polemical article you linked to was the creation of the Communications Act which created the FCC. The article is misleading at best, more fairly its an outright lie. The creation of the FCC no more created the Fairness Doctrine than the requirements of the Republican enacted Federal Radio Commission’s 1928 requirement that licensees show...“due regard for the opinions of others.” did or the later prohibition of editorializing of any kind on the radio (which didn’t last long).
“O Kolokotronis are a socialist troll.”
Because I won’t drink the green koolaide doled out to radio listeners by the genius who gave us “Operation Chaos”? Given what he “accomplished” in the last election, an astonishing success right up there with his marital triumphs, he should be off the air with or without the Fairness Doctrine.
If Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford and Reagan could govern and the nation survive with Free Speech intact under the Fairness Doctrine, it can now. This whole thing phony issue is ginned up by people who make their livings spouting off on the radio. It has nothing to do with Free Speech, as the Supreme Court has decided. It is causing the right to become fixated on an issue which has virtually nothing to do with the well being of any of us on behalf of the likes of Limbaugh and his imitators.
Obama is a King now. If he wants to stop Rush, Hannity, Levin and Savage he will issue that order from his thrown.
Is someone forcing you to listen to Rush?
Hugh Hewett? The Great One(Mark Levin)?
No, you have the freedom to change the channel. But doing so would require a tad bit of effort on your part. Yes,you’d actually need to exercise the muscles in your hand.
OMG!! Labor? On your own behalf?!!
Heavens no!!
/sarc?
Thank you for keeping track of zero’s actions.
I suspect you’ll be even busier come the month of March.
(just a Freeper hunch)
Stop using leftist words. It is THE CENSORSHIP DOCTRINE.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2172649/posts
it is important not to let leftists frame the argument. ask the mod to put “censorship doctrine” in parentheses next to the title.
You are correct, the Fairness Doctrine was not adopted until 1949.

The FCC’s power was upheld here:
http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/559/559.F2d.237.74-4164.html
But an argument can be made the whole thing did indeed grow legal roots in the original Radio Act of 1927.
“That this Act is intended to regulate all forms of interstate and foreign radio transmissions and communications within the United States, its Territories and possessions; to maintain the control of the United States over all the channels of interstate and foreign radio transmission...”
But then the entire premise of the FCC and its antecedent laws and regulations was the limited broadcast spectrum available and the need to prevent interference. Here is some earlier law pertinent.

As the web grows and eventually overtakes and obsoletes radio and television, the need for the FCC and its myriad regulations will recede. Communications itself will be “open source” and will be resistant to control in any form.
Thomas Hazlett had this to say back in 1990.

Are you sure?
I see the conservative internet BOOMING over the next 4 years.
If they (the Marxists) shut down talk radio, the game will be...officially....ON.
I don’t know which side will ultlmately win...but I DO know that we will be too involved or otherwise ‘engaged’ to help Isreal when the time comes. Which is, now that I think of it...probably EO’s (and Big O’s) plan....all along.
“As the web grows and eventually overtakes and obsoletes radio and television, the need for the FCC and its myriad regulations will recede. Communications itself will be “open source” and will be resistant to control in any form.”
I agree 100%. Indeed it is happening already. This very site is an example of the change.
“Is someone forcing you to listen to Rush?”
Absolutely not. In fact, I stopped any regular listening to him when it became apparent that his drug addiction had addled his mind.
You are so focused on your talking points. Howl at the moon.
