George Will explains why Howard Dean supports a return to the "Fairness Doctrine."
"I believe we need to re-regulate the media," says Howard Dean.

I recently posted that Putin is retaking control of the media in Russia. The U.S.S.R. is trying to return in Russia. Of course Dean wants the same here.
