FCC Commissioner Michael Copps has replied to Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), who questioned Copps' position on the "Fairness Doctrine" last week, following a recent speech by the Commissioner.
According to Broadcasting & Cable, Copps made his position crystal-clear, saying, "I do not believe the FCC should reinstate the Fairness Doctrine," and adding, "As I said in a speech over a year and a half ago, the Fairness Doctrine is long gone and it's not coming back."
Wit the push to send a bill to the floor of the House in Congress to shutter NPR and the campaign by Rev. Al Sharpton to shut down Rush Limbaugh, I don't see why this wouldn't be brought back. Radio has become the Wild Wild West of unfair programming that is fair and unbiased.
