A statement released by the Obama Campaign in June 2008. It stated, "Senator Obama does not support re-imposing the Fairness Doctrine on broadcasters. He considers this debate to be a distraction from the conversation we should be having about opening up airwaves and modern communications to as many diverse viewpoints as possible. That is why Senator Obama supports media-ownership caps, network neutrality, public broadcasting, as well as increasing minority ownership of broadcasting and print outlets."
Wait, isn't forcing "network neutrality" with government intervention, which is what this statement says he supports, exactly what the fairness doctrine is? Wouldn't that means he pretty much supports it?
