Bush: ‘Fairness Doctrine’ unfair

You just have to wonder why he is making a statement about this. I suspect that a Democrat congress will certainly push forward on this front, but why make a comment like this now??

In Nashville today, during a speech to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, President Bush said there’s nothing fair about the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” that once required broadcasters to offer air time for competing ideologies.

The FCC got rid of it about 20 years ago. Now, some Democrats in Congress - long the target of popular conservative radio talk-show hosts - think it’s time to bring it back.
