While our Congressional leaders make noise about revival of the “fairness doctrine”, Iceland, somewhat known for its pseudo-socialist policies, is making bona-fide efforts to become the world leader in ensuring a free press. See their government’s proposal here: Modern Icelandic Media Initiative. Congressional desire to roll back free speech and Iceland’s initiatives to ramp up free speech should be a warning sign that our leaders are fearful of a truly free press and likely see control of it as a measure to ensure their grip on power. Thoughts?
