FCC officially kills Fairness Doctrine, wiping it from rules

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski announced the elimination of 83 outdated and obsolete agency rules on Monday, including the controversial Fairness Doctrine.

“The elimination of the obsolete Fairness Doctrine regulations will remove an unnecessary distraction. As I have said, striking this from our books ensures there can be no mistake that what has long been a dead letter remains dead," Genachowski said in a statement.

"The Fairness Doctrine holds the potential to chill free speech and the free flow of ideas and was properly abandoned over two decades ago. I am pleased we are removing these and other obsolete rules from our books."

So much for the left's hope of silencing Talk Radio.
:clap:
 
This is definitely a good thing. Only about 10,000 more repressive regulations to go. ;)
 
This really changes little as the regulations were discarded I believe in the 80's.

Puppetmaster and Nazi George Soros stuck a gun to Glenn Beck's head. Beck proceeded cry and sob and defecated in his pants. He quickly apologized to Soros for not keeping his mouth shut and promptly quit his show.

Yep, Beck silenced Beck.

Let's face it, given that we all know the media are all leftists, the abolition of the fairness doctrine must be a leftist attempt to protect the left-wing media...

I am in shock. I thought for sure the Obama crowd would do the opposite while Obama claimed his own opposition.


Wow, I can be wrong. Who knew.

You'd be shocked at just how inaccurate your impression of "what liberals think" is. It's not your fault, there's a strong right-wing media effort to give you the impression that liberals think "government is the answer to everything," that we want "government to take care of everything," that we "want to control every aspect of your life," etc. They're all ridiculous, but you hear them all the time from the right. A lie told often enough, as they say.

"The left" actually believes in free speech. Nobody wanted to "silence" talk radio. Unlike some certain group of people that thinks, for example, that the 1st amendment explicitly does not cover Islam.

Do they believe it as much as Mark Lloyd of Obama's administration did?
