...Supreme Court proved willing to uphold the doctrine, eking out space for it alongside the First Amendment. In 1969's Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, journalist Fred Cook sued a Pennsylvania Christian Crusade radio program after a radio host attacked him on air. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court upheld Cook's right to an on-air response under the Fairness Doctrine, arguing that nothing in the First Amendment gives a broadcast license holder the exclusive right to the airwaves they operate on.

"State and local governments, in particular, were hoping for much more aid, and they'll undoubtedly be back as their own budgets sag," said Don Kettl, a political science professor at the University of Pennsylvania. The bill includes $59 billion to help unemployed workers and extends aid for their health insurance. Ninety billion dollars will go toward shoring up Medicaid, $19 billion is allocated for Obama's "down payment" on modernizing health-care records - short of the $25 billion he originally envisioned - and onetime payments...
