Would it help to bring back the Fairness Doctrine - perhaps an updated version?

[diva77]

It's not just Dump and McTurd's fault - it's Fux, Limburger, and all the other hate talk & tv, and hate social media.

1. Yes

[diva77]

8. Agree 1000% !!!!!!!!

[elleng]

2. Yes, spread FACTS.

[diva77]

4. Agree 1000%

[diva77]

3. just wanted to add that one of the worst things that has been normalized is hate media

[BigmanPigman]

5. Long overdue.

[Hoyt]

6. Put trump on 24/7. Most people can see through his junk, but too many don't care.

[JoeOtterbein]

7. Yep!

I think you just hit the nail on the head!

[MustLoveBeagles]

9. Yes it would

[PSPS]

10. Of course, but Moscow Mitch won't allow it in his duma.

14. Had to look up "duma"

Good one!

11. It would shut down Limbaugh. But not Fox. They are cable.

Or rather not broadcast over public airwaves.

But it was s much more liberal Supreme Court that made it untenable.

The Fairness Doctrine is not coming back.

13. You'd have to modify it to cover cable

Unfortunately, it wouldn't be able to cover the Internet...and Glenn Beck doesn't seem to be doing too badly after getting kicked off Fox News.

12. Fairness Doctrine wasn't really that great. Not sure it would help much.

[uponit7771]

16. It mitigated FAUX news to some degree, after it ends winger based KGOP outlets sprouted.

[PSPS]

17. Not true

It was immediately after Reagan scuttled the fairness doctrine that the giant RW Wurlitzer was established. The fairness doctrine was repealed in 1987 and Limbaugh, to pick a well-known example, began his national show shortly after that.

[uponit7771]

15. *** YES !!! *** The Fairness Doctrine was meant to keep media outlets from coupling themselves

... to political parties in the US !!

Now that its gone FAUX News is the media outlet for the KGOP and there's little we can do to stop it.
