    To expand on this:

    FCC CHAIRMAN GENACHOWSKI CONTINUES REGULATORY REFORM TO
    EASE BURDEN ON BUSINESSES; ANNOUNCES ELIMINATION OF 83 OUTDATED
    RULES

    “Fairness Doctrine” and other obsolete provisions among those deleted; Actions consistent with Chairman Genachowski’s regulatory reform agenda and commitment to act in accordance with recent Executive Order to improve regulation and regulatory review Washington, D.C. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski today announced the elimination of 83 outdated and
    obsolete media-related rules, including Fairness Doctrine regulations.

    Heh, Obama’s polling has been horrible and they release this when he is on “vacation”. You think Obama is “running to the middle”? I am sure Obama will make small concessions here and there. Except for Texas. Obama will be throwing the book at Texas as long as Perry is a viable candidate.

    Let’s see how the left wing base responds to the “Fairness Doctrine” being tossed in the trash can. Alan Colmes & Ed Schultz most hardest hit.

    Should start their own network we could call it the world of odds

    Given the way this administration works, I can see them re-introducing the fairness doctrine, in a much more limiting form, now that they’ve gotten rid of the language of the first one. This is not a win, yet.

      Just like Obamacare, which has been woven into countless other bureau cracies and would already be difficult to remove with one fell repeal swoop.
