A little internet searching turned up some big names in support of a 
revived "Fairness Doctrine", including one of our own Commonwealth's 
U.S. Senators.


Senators Schumer and Durbin have called for it:

Senator Kerry called for it in 2007, as have Senator Feinstein and Rep. 
Kucinich:

Speaker Pelosi said she wants it, at a June 2008 event sponsored by the 
Christian Science Monitor:

So while a new "Fairness Doctrine" may really be an unattainable liberal 
day-dream, that list of powerful Democrats (plus Kucinich who is 
arguably not powerful) gives FD opponents plenty of reason to gear up a 
campaign against it.
