"Senior FCC staff working for acting Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps held meetings last week with policy and legislative advisers to House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman to discuss ways the committee can create openings for the FCC to put in place a form of the 'Fairness Doctrine' without actually calling it such."
-The American Spectator, February 16, 2009
[snip] Now, according to the above report by The American Spectator, the House Energy and Commerce Committee, under the leadership of far-left Congressman Henry Waxman, is talking about imposing Fairness Doctrine-type regulations on all forms of media… including the Internet!
[snip]To halt re-imposition of the "Fairness Doctrine" and these other crazy schemes by the Pelosi Gang and the Obama Administration to curtail free speech, conservatives in Congress have introduced the Broadcaster Freedom Act of 2009 (S. 34).
According to Senator Jim DeMint:
"The bill would prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, which would suppress free speech by requiring the government to monitor political views and decide what constitutes fair political discourse."
[snip] Congressionally mandated advisory boards of community watchdogs to control media content?
Sound familiar?
It should. The Soviet Union used to call them commissars... political officers... politruk!

Fascist clowns, we will not be silenced..
They may not call it the fairness doctrine but it is coming back in some form. Guaranteed.
Many have claimed to feel Obama's heat. . .his pants ARE on fire, of course; but not for reasons they imagine.
He is a practiced liar. . .beginning with 'who' he is; where he is from; what his visions are 'for' America (he does not have any, of course. . .). This man is so lying empty and bankrupt of integrity; he had to have Bill Ayers write his 'auto-biorgraphy' and create for Obama; a readable past.
That said, we know the man has heat; and we know why. . .
JimRob will have to redirect half of all of the attempts to load a Free Republic page to DU. And half of all of the Catherine Zeta-Jones pictures will have to be replaced by Rosie O'Donut.
“They may not call it the fairness doctrine but it is coming back in some form. Guaranteed.”
You are correct. Barack Hussien Obama aka Barry Soetoro said he does not want the Fairness Doctrine, but you can be sure the government control of all media will be part of his special movement called communitarianism.
Is there a fairness doctrine in Indonesia?
I don’t know, but would not be surprised.
It works this way; if you are a couple of Catholic Indonesian schoolgirls, walking home in your school uniforms, the Fairness Police simply behead you and leave your various parts in the road. See how fair that is?
Then we have the Kenyan Fairness Doctrine. If you are Obama's cousin, Raila Odinga, and you lose your bid for President by 250,000 votes, you have your tribe murder 100,000 members of the winning tribe, and they make you the Prime Minister. See how fair that is?
