New accountability law hits snags
The new accountability law has hit the snags again when Standing Committee of National Assembly on Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, scheduled to meet on October 26-27, cancelled its meetings because of remote chances to evolve the consensus on the said law.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told radio host and WND columnist Bill Press yesterday when asked about whether it was time to bring back the so-called ``Fairness Doctrine'': ``I think it's absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it's called the Fairness Standard, whether it's called something else -- I absolutely think it's time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.''
