Another senator lines up behind 'Fairness Doctrine'
WND ^ | 2/8/09 | staff

WASHINGTON – Another Democratic U.S. senator has gone on record as supporting the reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," adding, "I feel like that's gonna happen."

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told radio host and WND columnist Bill Press yesterday when asked about whether it was time to bring back the so-called "Fairness Doctrine": "I think it's absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it's called the Fairness Standard, whether it's called something else – I absolutely think it's time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place."

we just need to email the office of Stabenow and say “I will support this if you apply the fairness doctrine to federally funded schools”. That should shut her up.

As a poem, it's the worst I've ever read.

LOL. Obviously, you've never heard of Maya Angelou. She makes Elizabeth Alexander sound like Keats.

as for the fairness doctrine... once it comes to pass, there will be an alternative.

Let’s start with accountability and transparency in government first and see how that goes.

**I also believe what the democrats have in mind is something that will apply only to republicans.**

DemonRAT Congressmen and Senators have ALREADY SAID that NPR and the Networks are ALREADY Fair and Balanced.
the only target is TALK RADIO.

Worthless MARXIST SCUM

it is important not to let leftists frame the argument. ask the mod to put “censorship doctrine” in parentheses next to the title.
