Looks like more Guard Dogs on the right are feasting on the juicy Fairness Doctrine steak Dems keep tossing out for them. They have quite a liberal agenda ahead and continued calls to revive the Fairness Doctrine, while minions like Dick Durbin stir up trouble creates a ‘prime’ distraction. Mmmmmmm… steak.

From Michelle Malkin:

Fairness Doctrine on the Senate floor
From Sen. Jim DeMint’s office:

Today, at 2pm, the Senate will vote on two amendments with respect to the Fairness Doctrine.

- The DeMint amendment (Broadcaster Freedom Act) would ban the Fairness Doctrine.

- The amendment by Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) would achieve the same goals of the Fairness Doctrine through backdoor FCC regulations. His legislation forces the FCC to “take actions to encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership,” an attempt to dismantle successful syndicated radio programs. The Durbin amendment would hurt small, local radio stations who depend on popular syndicated programming for listeners and revenue.

Here’s an article that seems to get at what Durbin’s amendment is about.

Senator DeMint will encourage all senators to OPPOSE the Durbin Amendment.

The Duct Tape Brigade is out there in full force.

Eternal vigilance is required.

The enemy cannot engage me in combat; I distract him in a different direction.
