15. Congress needs to restore the Fairness Doctrine.

It's impossible to balance blatant lies with the truth. Instead, it should become more difficult for "news" stations to broadcast the lies.

Right now, we have a privately funded version of "state news." We have the propaganda of a totalitarian state, privately funded by a handful of billionaires.
