Here is Limbaugh on a tirade against the Fairness Act. Obama came out saying he did not favor the fairness act.
Of course after the attempt of the previous regime to suppress "anti-American" thought, it's not a little hypocritical to say such things now. I agree with Limbaugh's position, however. And he seemed a little more restrained than usual.
I should expect to hear an increasing number of conspiracy theories about what the Obama administration is doing beneath the surface. To some extent, "to the victor belong the spoils," as it certainly was for the Bush administration. So far, Obama seems to have resisted the temptation to let the liberals in his party exert the kind of revenge they did under Clinton and that Bush's people did.
But of course we'll see what happens in time.
P.S. No comment on the stimulus package. I simply don't know enough to have an opinion.

Note that President Obama has clearly and officially stated his position:
"As the president stated during the campaign, he does not believe the fairness doctrine should be reinstated," White House spokesman Ben LaBolt told FOXNews.com.

The Internet makes the fairness doctrine silly... (has it even made the truthfulness doctrine silly?)
