Crapo Opposes ‘Fairness Doctrine’

Free speech on radio stations across Idaho and the nation must be protected, says Idaho Senator Mike Crapo.  That’s why Crapo joined with 29 other Senators to introduce legislation to ensure broadcasters are protected against efforts to increase federal control over the airwaves as well as the content of talk radio and other programs.  The legislation was approved today on a vote of 87 to 11 as an amendment to the D.C. Voting Rights Bill/Crapo spokeswoman Susan Wheeler. More here.
