Sen. Stabenow wants hearings on radio 'accountability'; talks fairness doctrine <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0209/Sen_Stabenow_wants_hearings_on_radio_accountability_talks_fairness_doctrine.html?showall" target=_top>http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/020 9/Sen_Stabenow_wants_hearings_on_radio_accountabil ity_talks_fairness_doctrine.html?showall</a> <BR> <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>... <BR> <BR>Although Obama has been publicly opposed to reinstating the fairness doctrine, conservative radio has talked nonstop about the fear of it returning (or perhaps something like it with another name) while there's a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic majority in Congress. <BR> <BR>UPDATE: A commenter points out that Stabenow is married to Tom Athans, a liberal talk radio executive. <BR> <BR><!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>I thought there was already accountability, advertiser support and rating??? Test the truth, if it's left field/tall grass stuff, it will die on it's own out of outrage. To force Radio Stations to program things no one will listen to is absurd, IMHO. <BR> <BR>Left wing Air America was a good example, and Al Franken's failure on the air. We have yet to see what the final election results are in Minnesota between Coleman and Franken. That will be interesting relative to this subject if Franken wins Coleman's seat.
