Reps. Murphy and Courtney Vote AGAINST the Fairness Doctrine

I've not seen any reporting in Connecticut on this yet, but yesterday the U.S. House passed an amendment 309-115 basically preventing reimposition of the ill-fated Fairness Doctrine. Most interestingly, although liberal Congressmen Rosa DeLauro and John Larson voted against the amendment, freshmen Congressmen Joe Courtney and Chris Murphy voted for free speech and the marketplace.
