The amendment passed 87-11. Reid voted for the amendment. Minutes before the amendment passed the Senate, however, Senate Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed a separate amendment that says ³certain affirmative actions² are ³required² of the FCC, including ³actions to encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership and to ensure that broadcast station licenses are used in the public interest.² This amendment also passed, on a vote of 57-41. Reid also voted for the Durbin amendment. The amendment¹s language is viewed by many conservative media experts as a means to regulate conservative talk radio, particularly popular programs such as the ³Rush Limbaugh Show² and the ³Sean Hannity Show,² among many others. http://www.cnsnews.com/public/conten...x?RsrcID=44808 They may call it something else but be prepared to have that doctrine shoved down your throat one way or the other. http://townhall.com/columnists/Frank...&comments=true |
