"'Today the House of Representatives affirmed that freedom will continue to
reign on the airwaves of America. Thanks to the support of 308 of my colleagues,
Congress has ensured that the Fairness Doctrine will remain in the grave for
now. This was a resounding victory for free speech. "
I think that this doctrine is pointless. If radio was the only source of news, there would be some foundation for this. However new sources abound, the internet is the largest source of news right now. There is also an abundant selection of news channels and newspapers that are available. I don't think that the goal of this bill is conductive to free speech in the current political and media environment.
