So does this: Clinton wants 'more balance' on airwaves With thousands of radio stations, one would think that BJ Clinton could find a few that would want to listen to him….After he finds sponsors…. Then of course, we can always compare the amount of time spent by all the TV and radio stations, to say nothing of the print media who print, repeat, talk about one side vs what another pov is…. Clinton wants 'more balance' on airwaves February 12, 2009 Categories: Talk Radio politico.com Even though no member of Congress has scheduled hearings on the Fairness Doctrine, it remains on a hot topic on both liberal and conservative shows. Today, radio host Mario Solis Marich asked former President Bill Clinton if it was time for "some type of enforced media accountability." "Well, you either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we ought to have more balance on the other side," Clinton said, "because essentially there's always been a lot of big money to support the right wing talk shows and let face it, you know, Rush Limbaugh is fairly entertaining even when he is saying things that I think are ridiculous...." Clinton said that there needs to be either "more balance in the programs or have some opportunity for people to offer countervailing opinions." Clinton added that he didn't support repealing the Fairness Doctrine, an act done under Reagan's FCC. In the past week, a couple Democratic Senators, Debbie Stabenow and Tom Harkin, have both spoken favorably about the Fairness Doctrine, or holding hearings on radio accountability.
