"Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said his agency will remove the Fairness Doctrine from the rulebooks in response to a recent request from House Republicans.
'I fully support deleting the Fairness Doctrine and related provisions from the Code of Federal Regulations, so that there can be no mistake that what has been a dead letter is truly dead,' Genachowski wrote in a letter Monday to House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.).
'I look forward to effectuating this change when acting on the staff's recommendations and anticipate that the process can be completed in the near future.'"
