“Let’s take ‘em one by one, starting with the biggest winners and working our way down to the biggest losers:”

I am so relieved this bill was shot down. But there is one possible winner that we better hope doesn’t occur. The fairness doctrine is raising its ugly head again and being given new life. This bill got defeated by talk radio and the blogosphere that listen to them. If not for them the people would have missed this bill being slipped through congress. Congress was humiliated with the failure of this bill. They will not forgive and they will not forget. They are going to go after talk radio with a vengence. I guarantee you that they will attempt to reimpose the fairness doctrine within the coming months. It will take a campaign as big as the one against the “immigration reform” bill to stop it.

Sorry I don't know how to post links, but basically the House just voted down the Fairness Doctrine 309-115.
