[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 214531, member: 2189"] It is amazing what can happen when folks just get active. Just being curious I tuned into C-Span about 15 minutes ago on the House side and guess what was being debated? The Fairness Doctrine. Boy, that didn't take long! :lol: I'm serious when I say look for some repubs to jump ship on this issue and side with those in favor of bringing this doctrine back. If they pass this legislation it will about once and for all kill the radio format IMO. Most music formats suck IMO but then I like everything from Swedish Death Metal, to 70's Progressive Rock to Jazz to Big Band to Classical to Electronic like Tangerine Dream and little to none of that is found on the radio these days. Talk radio has really kept this format going so with the internet and Sat. doing so well and ever increasing, the Fairness Doctrine may in fact explode the problem they thought it would solve to big and then what do they do? Yesterday I happen to listen to Sean Hannity as he interviewed Sen. Voinovich, Repub from Ohio on the issue of immigration. Sean took him to task no so much over his position itself but as he talked with the Senator, it became clear he really was defending a piece of legislation that he really hadn't given any consideration too. Here was Sean giving the otherside equal time but the guy was ill equiped to even discuss the issue on a point by point basis. Had he done so and Sean cut him off as he is known to do from time to time IMO, then I'd have issue with Sean but this was not the case. Now I go to Sen. Voinovich's website and see now that he voted against cloture and his public statement sez that he did so in his opposition to the legislation for being an ineffective tool to solve the problem. WOW! What a difference of 18 hours as yesterday he was all for it. What happened? :wink: [/QUOTE]
