Mike Pence, the Republican from Indiana who declared that Baghdad was just like "any other open air market in Indiana", has long been one of the biggest critics of the fairness doctrine. As a former right wing radio host he was on the floor of the House fighting against the fairness doctrine as it would curtail free speech and impose "government control" on peoples speech.

But know I see Rep. pence is an original cosponsor of the Family and Consumer Choice Act of 2007, which would have the government force cable broadcasters to block channels that are "indecent" and force them not to air anything "indecent" on the channels that they do air.

Eh, tomato, to-mah-to.
