SC case may block 'fairness doctrine' too
Hugh Hewitt find this nugget in the case lifting restriction on corporate speech:
I have been reading Citizen United with an eye on its implications for new media and also for talk radio. Two key excerpts from Justice Kennedy's opinion.
From p. 9:Courts, too, are bound by the First Amendment. We must decline to draw, and then redraw, constitutional lines based on the particular media or technology used to disseminate political speech from a particular speaker.
...While this might be considered dicta, it is pretty clear in its implications if the Democrats do try to reinstate the "fairness doctrine."
