PenceBlog: Update on the Fairness Doctrine: - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence : 6th District Of Indiana

The Fairness Doctrine debate is a hot topic amid the media and the blogosphere and we have a few more updates today. America magazine says here that if the Fairness Doctrine is reinstated it would wipe away talk radio. Conservative activist Paul Weyrich says here that last week was an extraordinary week for conservatives because Congressman Pence’s amendment passed with many Democrats crossing over party lines to kill the Fairness Doctrine.

Conservative blogs like Slice of Laodicea write here that the Fairness Doctrine is a violation of Freedom of Speech and that the Broadcaster Freedom Act introduced by Congressman Pence is the right piece of legislation to stop the Fairness Doctrine from being implemented. Maggie’s Notebook, a conservative blog, writes here that Democrats will work in a concerted effort to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, but Congressman Pence’s Broadcaster Freedom Act will help to stop them.
