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

Reagan era was the end of anything good in this country. He was vile.

Seems you and Mr. Yang on on the same page: nitter.vloup.ch/AndrewYang/statu… Hopefully you can work together on crafting talking points (unique to your respective perspectives) for you and your supporters to provide during discussions, public and private, on this and other platforms.

For Cable News we should revive the Fairness Doctrine which the FCC had on the books until 1985 that required that you show both sides of a political issue. It was repealed by Reagan. If there was ever a time to bring it back it’s now.

I still wonder if that couldn't be used to misinform, merely by the way a narrative is framed.
