Liberal Senator Who's Husband Is A Liberal Talker Executive Screams "Fairness, We Need Fairness"

Sad liberals are succeeding in leveling the playing field in the marketplace by bailing out all of American business's failures, so why not the talk radio failures all of whom are all liberal as well ?

We keep hearing talk radio's next, but then we hear that they won't go after these big hosts like Limbaugh and the rest, then back to the liberal moaning like we hear from this whining senator who's husband certainly has much to gain with the proposition of conservative talk radio being slowed if not shut down entirely by the government.

Sen. Stabenow wants hearings on radio 'accountability'; talks fairness doctrine

Michael Calderone's Blog: - Politico.com:

This morning, radio host Bill Press brought up the recent closing of liberal station Obama 1260 when speaking with Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and talked about whether there needs to be a balance to right-wing talk on the radio dial.

BILL PRESS: Yeah, I mean, look: They have a right to say that. They’ve got a right to express that. But, they should not be the only voices heard. So, is it time to bring back the Fairness Doctrine?

SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I think it’s absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it’s called the Fairness Standard, whether it’s called something else — I absolutely think it’s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.

BILL PRESS: Can we count on you to push for some hearings in the United States Senate this year, to bring these owners in and hold them accountable?

SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I have already had some discussions with colleagues and, you know, I feel like that’s gonna happen. Yep.

Although Obama has been publicly opposed to reinstating the fairness doctrine, conservative radio has talked nonstop about the fear of it returning (or perhaps something like it with another name) while there's a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic majority in Congress.

UPDATE: A commenter points out that Stabenow is married to Tom Athans, a liberal talk radio executive.

Liberal executive for none other than ultimate radio failure AIR AMERICA. Gee, there's no conflict of interest there now is there? Just listen to this pathetic woman, and to think she has power over other human beings makes me shudder


And you can read about this woman's piece of work husband , a typical cheating and lying sack of crap who's ruined the life of a teenage girl that he's had an affair with who is now in jail, not him but her in jail for 5 days because of this liberal scum

Read about that here at Detroit Free Press:

Here's another story today on this subject and wench from WorldNetDaily:

Another senator lines up behind 'Fairness Doctrine

"WASHINGTON – Another Democratic U.S. senator has gone on record as supporting the reinstatement of the so-called 'Fairness Doctrine,' adding, 'I feel like that's gonna happen.'

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told radio host and WND columnist Bill Press yesterday when asked about whether it was time to bring back the so-called 'Fairness Doctrine': 'I think it's absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it's called the Fairness Standard, whether it's called something else – I absolutely think it's time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.'" continued
