Back to Muzak? Heritage Report on the Fairness Doctrine

Last week, Nancy Pelosi reportedly put the Fairness Doctrine in play in Congress — stating that the House leadership would aggressively pursue its restoration. At this point it’s unclear how serious she is about it — will there be a real effort to reimpose this relic of the 1940s, or is this just a bone for the Rupert-and-Rush-Need-to-Be-Stopped Left?

One thing is clear — serious or not, its a bad idea. I explain why is this just-released Heritage paper.
