I'm skeptical about the Fairness Doctrine. Not everything has a valid "other side".
I'm also certain that it would be used as a tool of manipulation had it continued to exist until today.
It would be quite strange. "Here is all the research that being gay is something you are born as. You can also just choose to not believe that and think they are demons." Like how would you both sides half of the current "discourse" without just saying actual lies? There is no proof of immigration being negative but if you hate brown people that's a negative?
It was also targetted at public broadcasters, it would not have affected Fox as a cable-only channel
and yet still better than the absolute cesspool that yall have right now… both sides is better than basically 90% propaganda because at least it shows that not everyone thinks the same
Whatever flaws the Fairness Doctrine had, it was clearly preventing what we're experiencing now.
Bring it back.
Yeah that's not clear at all though, is it? You're equating correlation with causation
The FCC is currently trying to apply Fairness Doctrine to late night shows in retaliation for them having James Talarico on.
I think that's the Equal Time Rule, which is different (and more defensible imo)
