The end around is the other bill, which is much worse than the fairness doctrine.
Sound and fury, signifying little. Amazing how the GOP only grows a spine when they are out of power.
These stupid SOBs better get the message that we are fed up and damn fast.
We have seen two things positive today and one simply unacceptable from the Senilate...the Senilator for DC is completely unacceptable.
Next is the damn fool budget proposal by obambi and the crap and trade foolishness and the tax increase proposals.
I love America but I hate the government.
Take out the air conditioning in DC...that will keep them away most of the year. Maybe then we could have a little peace.
This banned nothing! It actually just gives it a new name and more dangerous. I hope that somehow we are far more organized than it seems. I just sit here and wait for the call...but nobody ever does.
ctually, this just REIMPOSES the “Fairness Doctrine” with different words. Read it.
“Our enemies should know: we will never apologize for being free men...”

Read the article.
However, Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin also won approval for an alternate amendment that would order the Federal Communications Commission to encourage radio ownership “diversity.”
A DeMint aide said Durbin’s measure will “impose the Fairness Doctrine through the back door by trying to break up radio ownership.”
The aide called the Durbin proposal “an attempt to break up companies like Clear Channel and hurt their syndications and therefore putting many local radio stations out of business that depend on those syndicated shows for revenue.”
The measure passed by a vote of 57-to-41.
