Harkin amendment calls for balance at AFR

Today, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) proposed an amendment to the Defense authorization bill to provide political balance in talk radio programming on American Forces Radio (AFR). The amendment would require AFR to provide balanced political programming and establish an ombudsman position. Media Matters for America has focused on balance at AFR since we launched more than a year ago.
