US Senate backs ban on media "Fairness Doctrine"

We read:
"The U.S. Senate passed an amendment on Thursday that would bar regulators from requiring broadcasters to give equal time to all points of view, a ban strongly supported by some Republican lawmakers.

The legislative amendment, sponsored by Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, would prevent the Federal Communications Commission from reimposing the so-called Fairness Doctrine to all broadcasters. It was repealed more than 20 years ago. Aides to President Barack Obama have said he has no intention of trying to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, but that has not stopped some Republicans from raising the issue."

Right... Just like he intents to lower the deficit by increasing it, restore the economy by destroying it, bring home the troops by sending more out there, etc. etc.
Pretty much everything the man says is a lie, so if he says he won't reimpose censorship he effectively says he intents to do just that.

The key to everything Yobama says is, "He". "He" won't stop this, or "he" won't tax that. "He" won't take peoples guns away. He won't, but he's surrounded himself with those who can, and will, leaving himself with clean hands!

Once again, when choosing a president, the American people, being weak-minded sheep, have been conned by a liar.

The sadest thing about your comment is that it's true!

I suspect a winning campaign slogan for the 2010 and 2012 elections for anyone not running as a Democrat will be "Undoing the maliciously inflicted damage". Anyone who runs on that won't win in a landslide - they will in an avalanche!
