Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi aims to reinstate the "Fairness Doctrine". This ironic bill, which was terminated under the Reagan administration, would "regulate" media, and could be used as a weapon to silence conservative radio talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh. It seems that free speech is a popular target this week.
Pelosi has already opposed Rep. Mike Pence's (R-Ind.) Broadcaster Freedom Act, saying she wouldn't let it see the floor of the 2008 Congress. We'll just see about that Nancy.
