For now it looks like the Senate may have tabled the revival of the Fairness Doctrine. The vote may have been 87-11

"The Senate has barred federal regulators from reviving a policy, abandoned two decades ago, that required balanced coverage of issues on public airwaves." The article also points out that the abundance of various media makes enforcement "unneccesary", thus
the F.C.C.'s abandonment of it in 1987.
