FCC to censor the airwaves?

The Media Research Center is calling on President Obama to publicly guarantee his opposition to all forms of regulatory assault, including the “Fairness Doctrine” and any FCC requirements for ownership and localism that may be used to silence conservative talk radio.

Additionally, the MRC is insisting that the President’s nominee for FCC Chairman, Julius Genachowski, also publicly pledge not to use the regulatory powers of the FCC for censorship of the airwaves. Until we have those promises, it is safe to assume that the President and his Administration are not serious about protecting Free Speech Rights in America.

Meanwhile the liberal media continue beating the Fairness Doctrine drum in tandem with liberal organizations and individuals like MoveOn.org and ACORN and others in an emboldened effort to silence conservative talk radio. They know that successfully reinstating the Fairness Doctrine would allow them to implement their radical liberal agenda -- unchecked and unchallenged!

We cannot allow that to happen.
