Clinton wants 'more balance' on airwaves

Even though no member of Congress has scheduled hearings on the Fairness Doctrine, it remains on a hot topic on both liberal and conservative shows.

Today, radio host Mario Solis Marich asked former President Bill Clinton if it was time for "some type of enforced media accountability."

"Well, you either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we ought to have more balance on the other side," Clinton said, "because essentially there's always been a lot of big money to support the right wing talk shows and let face it, you know, Rush Limbaugh is fairly entertaining even when he is saying things that I think are ridiculous...."

Again, the reasoning is that if the people choose other than the left, some kind of fix must be in because the ideas of the left MUST DIALECTICALLY be 'correct and just'. The idea that Soros of the Open Society Institute and Lewis of Progressive Insurance to name just 2, can't get a Randi Rhodes, or Rachel Maddow onto the air IS LAUGHABLE

Clinton said that there needs to be either "more balance in the programs or have some opportunity for people to offer countervailing opinions." Clinton added that he didn't support repealing the Fairness Doctrine, an act done under Reagan's FCC.

Isn't that cute? He says there needs to be fairness doctrine or more balance, but does not support bringing the fairness doctrine back. NICE DANCE, WILLY

In the past week, a couple Democratic Senators, Debbie Stabenow and Tom Harkin, have both spoken favorably about the Fairness Doctrine, or holding hearings on radio accountability.
