Any so-called Republican who votes for this should be tarred and feathered.

[MrB]

Is this the “broadcaster freedom act”?

[utahson]

Sorry, just beat ya. ;)

DeMint Tries to Prevent ‘Fairness Doctrine’ Revival

[MrB]

whoa there, read it again!

This is a bill BANNING the Fairness Doctrine.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

How nice.
The Donks will introduce the Community Radio Station Reinvestment Act," to solve the talking problem.

You may want to re-read the original post.

How expansive is the bill? Like I’ve said, Obama will never pass the “fairness doctrine,” too many liberals will recognize it as an attack on free speech. He may pass measures in the name of “diversity” or “local ownership” that will have the same result without the liberal outrage.

[facedown]

Oops, I meant the bill. I don’t know about this tabling business.

[veracious]

Thank you faithful senators!

[Ultimatum]

Fantastico.

[NC Angeleyes]

This bill is AGAINST the “Fairness Doctrine” so this one we want to have a “wide margin” pass

[JenB987]

I’d like to see them tried with treason.

[JenB987]

CORRECTION: I’d like to see anyone who OPPOSES this tried with treason.

[CGASMIA68]

some of us are not paying attention....

[Cedric]

Hate to say it, but some will vote for this bil to gain cover when they later vote for Turbin’s bill.

[Syncro]

The liberals are ahead of the curve here.

They are already writing another one which will probably be a stealth amendment to another bill.

Hopefully they will get caught again.

[KevinDavis]

Bitching before reading..

From the article:
“Though DeMint’s measure stands a strong chance of ultimately failing, it could trigger a debate on the issue and coax senators to take a stand either for or against the policy”.
