- ConceptJunkie 7y agoThe Fairness Doctrine only works if there are a small number of diametrically opposed viewpoints on every issue, but there aren't. The Fairness Doctrine also existed under the assumption that media bandwidth was seriously limited (i.e., as it was in 1949 due to technical limitations that no longer exist). The Fairness Doctrine also suffers from the same problem every other regulatory solution has: Who determines what is fair? There really is no objective way to enforce it.
