Pissed at pundit payola?? (Armstrong Williams,etc) SIGN THIS!
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 09:28 AM by moggie12
Sign this thing so Bush and the Republicans know we want a free and unbiased media (and are angry it's been corrupted):

http://www.fairnessdoctrine.com /


Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) just introduced a bill to revive the Fairness Doctrine -- the legislation has no chance of getting passed but a couple of million signatures will show them we know what's going on. The petition is joint project of Democracy Radio, Media Matters for America, and the Media Access Project.


This is a link to a "Salon.com" article talking about the bill and the Fairness Doctrine:

Rep. Louise Slaughter, who introduced the bill, convened a conference of experts on 1/26 to discuss the current sad state of the media. This is the link from her website -- it provides info about what was said:

(edited to fix links)
