To think where we could be if Reagan hadn’t of torn down The Fairness Doctrine.
@Ganondorf the fairness doctrine was only for broadcast media, the FCC was able to regulate it because it used public bandwidth. It wouldn’t have applied here. We’d need different regulation.
That’s a good point. I haven’t ever watched NewsMax so I’m unclear how it’s broadcast, but now that you’ve brought it up I assume it’s streamable and therefore immune from the TFD.
