The Censors are now coming in waves. Late last week it was Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and this week Sen. Tom Harkin and then former President Bill Clinton.

And today on CNN Radio New York Democratic Representative Maurice Hinchey re-asserted his long held desire to reinstate the Censorship Doctrine.

From the CNN website:

"I think the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated," Hinchey told CNNRadio. Hinchey says he could make it part of a bill he plans to introduce later this year overhauling radio and t-v ownership laws.
