WASHINGTON (CNN) More and more Democrats in Congress are calling for action that Republicans warn could muzzle right-wing talk radio.
Representative Maurice Hinchey, a Democrat from New York is the latest to say he wants to bring back the "Fairness Doctrine," a federal regulation scrapped in 1987 that would require broadcasters to present opposing views on public issues.
"I think the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated," Hinchey told CNNRadio. Hinchey says he could make it part of a bill he plans to introduce later this year overhauling radio and t-v ownership laws.

No video or internet then.
They are preparing to censor America, and they fear the truth as well.
Rush could very easily any day launch an offense about Obamas place of birth, with that kind of threat just sitting there and the real possibilities of millions of people gravely concerned that Obama is really a “Faux POTUS” PLUS the fact that it will be war drums across the Union its no wonder he and others havn’t been shut down by other methods.
I say go 4th and long Rush.
>> “that would require broadcasters to present opposing views on public issues.”
Yet, the Democrats would not allow the Senate Republicans to debate the public issue of an $800 Billion ‘stimulus’ package.
Was a program like Hannity and Colmes considered “equal” time?
If that qualifies, I think we have nothing to fear.
Worth repeating...
So what are you doing here on FR? Trying to get your defeatist jollies out by shouting to others that their plan will fail? I've noticed that every Rush thread is graced with your negative diatribes, good for nothing and exhibiting no positive ideas, but rather ruminating on defeat.
Why don't you just take your act away, and stop bothering the rest of us.
L... loser.
Someone is passing out stupid pills around here, I swear to God....

Excellent post.
Did they have one of these....
Thats’s the best you can do? Out of arguments (L)loser?
You don't have any more of a 'plan' than Treasury Secretary Geithner does, Toots.
If you did, you'd spell it out.

For certain you are not on our side. Go to DU or DailyKos, they will love you there.
How's that working out for ya?
Maybe you can buy a subscription to "Rush 24-7". That ought to help.
Maybe you could ask Hannity to write a book or something.
Have I missed anything?

How about we start by not referring to marxist sex pervert socialist baby killers as "Liberals"
If this happens, there will be no talk radio. Period. It’s not worth the hassle for stations to monitor, record and worry about equal time for both sides. Learn to love cooking, finance and remodeling shows, all coming to an AM station near you.
I think that they will come for the guns first, then radio, then internet. Just a hunch. I suspect that a Draconian gun ban will be pushed through very soon. “zero’s” arrogance today pegged it for me.
And If YOU had a plan, you’d spell it out. As for me, I don’t go crying defeat at every turn, L (loser)
You are attacking the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Freepers. As I said you belong to DU and DailyKos.
Har!
