Hilariously, this is what Thune had to say about the Fairness Doctrine when he sponsored an amendment to prevent the FCC from stepping in on talk radio;<p>&gt; <i>Our amendment would have helped preserve the vibrant marketplace of ideas we have today in our media. Our support for freedom of conscience and freedom of speech means that we must support the rights granted to even those with whom we disagree. Giving power to a few to regulate fairness in the media is a recipe for an Orwellian disaster.</i><p>So it&#x27;s an Orwellian disaster for the fairness doctrine to extend to talk radio, but he&#x27;s okay with the government threatening a private internet company to make sure there&#x27;s enough conservative opinion being displayed? Nice scruples.
