Drash: Does this mean that (for example) Christians, Orthodox Jews, Zoroastrians, Muslims (etc.) will get equal access to the humanistic mass media outlets (NPR, public TV, and of course the small monopoly of mass media outlets), too? This is a two-edged sword.

The speaker of the House made it clear to me and more than forty of my colleagues yesterday that a bill by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Ind.) to outlaw the “Fairness Doctrine” (which a liberal administration could use to silence … alternative media) would not see the light of day in Congress during ’08. In ruling out a vote on Pence’s proposed Broadcaster’s Freedom Act, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-CA.) also signaled her strong support for revival of the “Fairness Doctrine” — which would require radio station owners to provide equal time to radio commentary when it is requested.
