Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) plans to have hearings on reimposing the Fairness Doctrine:
I absolutely think it’s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.
Let’s just take this at face value. She wants to bring “accountability to the airwaves” and put “standards” in place. That means only one thing. The government should control what people can say; free speech be damned.
