I wrote yesterday that Debbie Stabenows was in support of implementing the Fairness Doctrine ASAP. Now we found out that her husband was the head of the largest liberal talk station in America. Not to mention he was also caught with prostitute in a hotel room. More from World Net Daily:

Bloggers and commenters on Internet forum pages today erupted over a forecast by Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., that the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" is coming, citing her husband's financial involvement in the "progressive" talk efforts of at least three companies that could benefited from the policy.

"Stabenow should disclose her clear conflict of interest here," wrote a participant in the forums page for Michael Calderone at Politico.com. "Her husband has been an executive with three failed liberal talk networks."

WND reported Stabenow's comments to host and WND columnist Bill Press that the "Fairness Doctrine," a 1960s and 70s concept to require "balance" on radio airwaves, is "gonna happen."

"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," she said.

"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."

But Stabenow didn't mention that her husband, Tom Athans, was executive vice president of the left-leaning talk radio network Air America. He left the network in 2006 when it filed for bankruptcy to join TalkUSA Radio Network. And he previously served as co-founder of Democracy Radio.

The RadioEqualizer blog reported Athans has long been in the "libtalk" business and at one point he was paid $165,000 for less than a year's work.

Athans was the cofounder with Paul Fiddick in 2002 of Democracy Radio, which was to "nurture" programming for "left-leaning" radio hosts. The network lasted until 2005. Then came Air America, which ended up in bankruptcy after Athans served a stint as developer for new programming. His latest is TalkUSA Radio.
