The Senate today voted overwhelmingly in favor of an amendment that would bar the re-imposition of the fairness doctrine:
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.
Ordinarily it would seem unlikely that the House would pass a bill like this, but as long as it’s tied to the D.C. Vote bill I’m not sure what they’re going to do with it.
Could a dispute over the Fairness Doctrine be enough to kill that unconstitutional monstrosity ?
I could only hope.
