We need to bring this back and not just for cable news, but for the internet.

I lean more conservative but I think this was a good law and wouldn't mind to see it reinstated. As it stands media became too much of an echo chamber. I have not seen any satisfactory arguments to date as to why this was repealed.

90% accurate content. No mention of the FCC and their leniency in enforcing the Fairness Doctrine because of the huge burden it placed on media to track and follow. No mention of the FCC's seven day rule for those with opposing points of view to request equal time. No mention of the Supreme Court cases: 1. Red Lion v. FCC, which initially ruled the Fairness Doctrine as Constitutional; and 2. Meredith Corp. v. FCC which determined that the Fairness Doctrine violated the First Amendment rights of broadcasters.

The real problem was allowing entertainment to be called "news".Why? Hmmm …

Fahrenheit 451 stopped being a work of fiction with Reagan. 1984 became a model.

Great information, although there should be laws to prevent propaganda on the news and social media (including legislatures) that make their viewers too dumb to vote.
