Another Neo-Commie Democratic U.S. senator has gone on record as
supporting the reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine,"
adding, "I feel like that's gonna happen."

The idea that Congress will re-instate the Fairness Doctrine borders
on an Urban Legend.

1. The act was repealed in 1989:

2. Obama does not support the doctrine:

"Sen. Obama does not support reimposing the Fairness Doctrine on
broadcasters," campaign press secretary Michael Ortiz told
Broadcasting & Cable earlier this year. "He considers this debate to
be a distraction from the conversation we should be having about
opening up the airwaves and modern communications to as many diverse
viewpoints as possible."

3. No action by Congress is currently being considered, although some
Congress members have voiced support:

"In the 110th Congress (2007-2009), where Democrats hold a majority of
both Houses, no legislation to restore the Fairness Doctrine has been
introduced."

4. Some people have confused the Fairness Doctrine and the Class
Fairness Act which Obama does support.
