We have great
news for talk radio fans, conservatives, and defenders of free speech.
Reps. Mike Pence (R-IN), Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) yesterday
proposed an amendment to the House Financial Services Appropriations bill that
prevents federal funds from being used to enforce the “fairness doctrine” on
talk radio and other media outlets should the onerous regulation ever be
revived (as several U.S.
Senators have suggested). We are happy to report that the amendment
passed overwhelmingly.
