Senator Stabenow calls for Fairness Doctrine
By Rizzuto

Thu Feb 05, 2009 - Sure...the Fairness Doctrine is just a windmill made up by conservative talk shows to tilt at on a daily basis, and rile up listeners. Of course you'd have to ignore the fact that leftist Senators continue to talk about the fairness doctrine and the merits of curbing free speech.

The Politico recently caught this exchange between Bill Press and Senator Stabenow:
BILL PRESS: Yeah, I mean look: They have a right to say that. They’ve got a right to express that. But, they should not be the only voices heard. So, is it time to bring back the Fairness Doctrine?

SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I think it’s absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it’s called the Fairness Standard, whether it’s called something else – I absolutely think it’s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.
