BACKDOOR "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE"

President Obama does not like talk show Titans Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Yet, he has always been careful to say the he opposes the Fairness Doctrine. President Obama would rather go about it in a different way. President Obama is getting his old home state Senator Dick Durbin to do his bidding. The Senate overwhelming passed a measure saying that they would not reinstate the Fairness Doctrine but will urge The Federal Communication Commission to increase diversity on the airwaves. President Obama wrote a letter to the FCC about taking action to increase minority ownership in broadcast media. Conservatives media believes that this is a "Backdoor Version" of the Fairness Doctrine. Both Actions were attached to a larger Bill giving Washington D.C. voting rights. It is unclear if the measure will be in the final bill. Sen. Demint sponsored a Amendment killing the Fairness Doctrine. It passed 87-11. Liberal Socialist Dick Durbin sponsored a competing Amendment for more media diversity. It passed 57-41. Therefore, today was a great day for free speech rights in America but, the fight is not over said Sen. Demint. Senator Durbin's amendment exposed intentions to impose censorship through the backdoor using vague regulations and dealing with media ownership. Sen. Durbin language was so broad that his amendment could apply to television stations, radio stations and Internet. All eyes will be on the FCC to see if they will shut down free speech. We must fight them at every roadblock.
