Some pieces of relevance

Relating to discussions on the media, George Will comments on the Fairness Doctrine. I think it's worth noting that he nowhere points out which liberals are leading the charge for a reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. Complaints of reactionary liberalism, without naming the reactionary liberals, wreaks of reactionary conservativism. Still, his points are sound.

Also from George Will is a column on the New New Deal that may come from Obama, with important points on FDR's New Deal. Will notes that the New Deal itself may not have worked the magic many claim it did. Millions were, however, employed and many areas of the country benefited from government led initiatives.
