On the recordJune 28, 2007
I certainly think that this debate is more meaningful than whether the Vice President is part of the executive branch of government or not. The fairness doctrine, or the so-called fairness doctrine is a clear and bald-faced attack on free speech. It's been declared such by the Supreme Court and the FCC, and just about every reasonable American who ever heard about it. Proponents of the doctrine don't like what they hear on the radio, but instead of empowering the process by engaging the points with regular Americans, they prefer to empower a government agency to silence those voices. This is a diverse country with rich and robust views on politics, on culture, on society, on the role of government.
