Fairness Doctrine - It's Coming

[Bonestorm]

Wait, no it isn't:

The Senate voted Thursday in favor of an amendment to the District of Columbia voting-rights bill that would prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reinstating the so-called Fairness Doctrine, which critics say would decimate conservative talk radio.

The Senate passed the measure 87-11.

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. it's not going to happen. So quit the god-damned belly-aching about it.

No. Go ahead and say it. I'm happy. Of course I never argued that it was coming personally, but you shouldn't hate saying "I told you so."

So wait, can the DC Rep vote now? She has just been an observer.

Don't know. They added some other amendment regarding D.C. gun rights that you should take a look at too. It's probably right up your alley.

The Fairness doctrine is still coming, their just going to call it something else.

Ahhhhh dude... fortunately you have a lot of points in reserve but one can lose their man card throwing out things like Title IX.

I think they did but too keep Republicans from filibustering it they gave Utah, a reliably Republican State, an extra seat in congress.

That's a great idea! It will give us even more to argue and fight about.

your wit knows no bounds.
I see that American citizens who worry about keeping their constitution right to Free Speech is just a joke to you..

 

[Chapdog]

Good news. Obama would be a fool to use all his political momentum on issues like this. He should go after national healthcare.. that will eat up his popularity down below 50%

Well it's hardly a 'wingnut thing' when you have Democratic Senators talking about wanting to bring the Fairness Doctrine back. If it was only a wingnut in the House like Barbara Lee that would be one thing but when you have Senators from large states publically out supporting it it gives it a little more validity. And with all due respect this was one issue where you missed the big picture in the argument you were making for it a few weeks back.

Obamas finding it a lot harder then he thought to keep the would be socialists in check within the democratic party.

What the hell are you talking about? Exactly no one proposed bringing back the Fairness Doctrine. It's a non-issue save for the reactionary right-wing shitheads and their goddamned persecution complexes.
