The Un-Fairness Doctrine not really dead
From the Desk of:
David Martin, Executive Vice President
MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER
MARCH 6, 2009
Eileen,
Late last week, the Senate passed the Broadcaster Freedom Amendment by a vote of 87-11. And
while the liberal media rushed to declare the Fairness Doctrine dead,
they all but ignored the “Durbin Amendment” that essentially primes the
pump for silencing conservative speech through backdoor FCC regulations!
Eileen,
the liberal media would have you believe that the Fairness Doctrine is
dead—that the gag order against conservative talk has been once and for
all lifted.
Nothing could be further from the truth!

Rights.
++ A Stealth Attack on Your Free Speech Rights!
Eileen,
the Durbin amendment requires the FCC to “take actions to encourage and
promote diversity in communication media ownership.” Upon closer look, this “stealth” attack on Free Speech Rights is far more insidious because it empowers the government to
censor
and control the airwaves through backdoor policies that create a vast
array of new avenues by which the FCC can silence talk radio.
In
other words, the Durbin amendment poses a much greater danger to our
free speech rights because it expands the governmental control and
censorship threat in ways we never before imagined!
++ Your Efforts More Important Than Ever
Given
what just took place on Capitol Hill last week, there is little doubt
that we are headed for a showdown over our Free Speech Rights Over the
next 36 hours, we’re urging EVERY member of our MRC Action Team to
alert friends and family about this stealth assault. Urge them to join
with you in defending this God-given right by signing the petition here
Time is short. Through this Durbin Amendment, liberal members of
Congress now have a way to muzzle the conservative voice on the
airwaves – we believe they will waste little time moving it forward.
Eileen, we cannot allow this backdoor assault to go unchallenged!
That’s
why we’re counting on you to help us rally an additional 10,000 citizen
signers of our Free Speech Alliance petition this weekend alone!
As always, thank you for standing with the MRC.
David Martin
