There's a bill floating around which would introduce the so-called "Fairness Doctrine", which would force radio broadcasters to give equal time to opposing viewpoints on their shows. The speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, apparently supports the bill, as do a number of other Democrats. Barack Obama doesn't. The idea is to limit talk radio, which is overwhelmingly conservative.

This idea has been very well publicized, mostly by conservatives as a campaign issue. I think the "Fairness Doctrine" is so ridiculously incompatible with the American free speech tradition that it's a no-brainer. And, I don't actually know anyone in real life -liberal, moderate, or conservative- who supports the bill. However, apparently many congressional Democrats do.
