"This is the legislation that has the new reenactment of the Fairness Doctrine in it. The Senate voted to, in essence, go back to the old days and reject the new FCC guidelines".

Read the article before opening mouth. Unless the article is wrong in which case I apologize. I don't believe Rush is wrong though and he's been talking about it for days.

I read the article that got Rush started on this kick, which clearly states that the Fairness Doctrine is not a part of this leglislation. Here is an excerpt and a link. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110004005

During July's House floor debate, Michigan Democrat John Dingell explained that once they roll back the FCC ownership expansion liberals can then move to reverse another recent FCC decision to allow companies to own TV stations and newspapers in the same market. They may then go to town on New York Representative Maurice Hinchey's proposal to revive the Fairness Doctrine and complicate life for both Fox and Rush.

I should have included this info in my first post. :-)

I know that Rush has been going on about this for days, and it doesn't do him or conservatives any good for him to be spreading untruths about this. I don't think that he's lying; I think that he's too emotionally involved to understand that the fairness doctrine is not embedded in this leglislation. He is, after all, a main target of all of this.
