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

It is clear, alternative news shamelessly reporting alternative facts is irresponsible and dangerous— stirring division, chaos, and bedlam. Media must be held accountable to tell not only the truth-but the whole truth-and nothing but the truth. #ReinstateFairnessDoctrine

I miss the days when the news was fair! We got 10 minutes of one side and 10 minutes of the other side and reporters didn't think their opinion was actually NEWS or informative at all!! I also miss world news!!

Better still.. split the MSM channels into two segments : Reporting and Commentary. One side simply reports on what they see - no panels; no guest speakers unless they are reporting as well. The Commentary side is what is - biased. The doctrine applies to the first segment.

We also need to make it illegal again for the government to propagandize its citizens.

and who would decide who fits those qualifications? CNN...who wants to kick Fox off the airwaves. If liberals like Brian Stelter of CNN want to know who are the real fascists, they should look in the mirror.
Actually, we need to figure out why/when people stopped using critical thinking skills and became so lazy in believing everything they are being fed.
