Rep. Hinchey: New bill would break up media monopolies and restore fairness doctrine

Rep. believes Democratic media reform bill may prevent possible 'fascist' takeover of US media. Concerns about monopolies and fears of a possible "fascist" takeover of the US media have prompted a Democratic congressman to push to restore the Fairness Doctrine.

"Media reform is the most important issue confronting our democratic republic and the people of our country," Representative Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) said at the Free Press National Media Reform Conference held in Memphis, Tennessee last weekend. "This is a critical moment in history that may determine the future of our country...maybe forever." Raw Story
