The Push Continues

Two more voices to revive the so-called formerly-moribund "Fairness Doctrine":

John Kerry on YouTube.

Democrat Senator Dick Durbin, Illinois:

It’s time to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine,” said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). “I have this old-fashioned attitude that when Americans hear both sides of the story, they’re in a better position to make a decision.”

But of course it won't just kill Conservative talk radio; it'll kill Air America and any other "talkers" and, primarily, ALL of the AM side of radio. And a good portion of news "content" in television. Trust me, the lawsuits'll be flying all over this one.

I wish I could say I trusted my GOP leaders to respond appropriately.

I fear they lack two necessary items (as certainly history has shown):

• The guts
• The cohesion
