SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I think it?s absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it?s called the Fairness Standard, whether it?s called something else ? I absolutely think it?s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.
Well, guess who she is married too?
After stepping down from Democracy Radio, Athans became the Executive Vice-President of Air America, a much larger but similar organization. Athans is in charge of developing new programming to expand Air Americas lineup. He will also head Air America?s Washington, D.C. corporate office
Can you say major conflict of interest? So basically she will use her government position to help her husbands business. Go figure, hopefully they both paid their taxes. Frankly having people bring up issues like this with such obvious baggage makes me believe they want to fail.
My problem with this censoring of speech is that the government should not be in the business of determining who is in business. By this I mean, if you cannot succeed in a business because no one wants your product you have no right to ask for government funds to continue it and you most definitely have no right to have the government put your competition out of business.
Yeah I know, the Constitution does not reference radio. Gee, freedom of the press only covered spoken and written word because that was all their was. In my area there are over thirty radio stations and one major newspaper. Yet I don't see the cry for balanced coverage in the newspaper area. Ours is so hell bent liberal they cannot sustain their subscriber base outside of the city itself.
