In 1949 Congress passed the Fairness Doctrine requiring broadcast licensees give "honest, equitable & balanced" coverage of news. Seeking to deregulate all business enterprise, Reagan ended it in 1987. We need to reinstate it & include tech platforms! #ReinstateFairnessDoctrine

Wasn’t every president since and including the president that did the deed complicit? Let’s give all ares their due.

The only problem with that is who decides what's Honest, Equitable and Balanced? The reason people have lost confidence in the MSM is that the narrative is controlled by powerful commercial interests. Don't give them anymore control.

There is absolutely nothing equitable happening in any form of media.

Bad idea. Give equal time to crazy right-wing conspiracies? Hell no.

No

Finally I agree with you. Everyone is in their own bubble and are being brainwashed from seeing the truth.

Thank you. I’ve been crying into the Twittersphere for years about this. End opinion/propaganda masquerading as news. @JoeBiden Both Fox and msnbc must go. #FairnessDoctrine #ReinstateFairnessDoctrine
