Dem leader Hoyer backs Fairness Doctrine 2.0

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is the latest politician to come out in support of reviving the Fairness Doctrine:

“There is a real concern about the monopoly of information and the skewering of information that the American public gets,” said Hoyer. “First, is to the monopoly.

“Obviously, if one group, or a large group, controls information and only allows one perspective to be presented, that’s not good for democracy. That is not good for the American public. That is, of course, what the Fairness Doctrine is directed at, and it can have great merit. But there are obviously complications involved in that as well,” he said.

What a sober, measured approach to censorship! As long as you're mindful of the "complications," government regulators can improve upon the information available to the American people by censoring radio broadcasts.

No doubt heads are nodding approvingly in Beijing, Mr. Hoyer.
