I'm skeptical that good intentions can be legislated. TV today is partisian because entertainment makes more money than journalism. I'm sure Fox as well as NBC

I'm sure Fox as well as NBC can find a way to satisfy "balance" without sacrificing on their core principal of make money. Fairness is too squishy.
Basically, I don't think there is any top down shortcut we can use to fix our culture. The networks are just giving the people what they want. Change will need to be bottom up. If we create a populace that values journalism and discourse, fair reporting will recover.
