The fairness doctrine only applied to broadcast TV, never cable. This is a myth that will never ever die and I see repeated constantly, even though it's been debunked numerous times by Snopes and others. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ronald-reagan-fairness-doctrine/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ronald-reagan-fairness-doc... The fairness doctrine was also abused by multiple administrations to go after broadcasters who were overly critical of them- FDR did it, so did Kennedy, Nixon, etc. The government is not and should never be the arbiter of what's 'true' or 'fair'. I'm always amazed that it never occurs to people that the gov't might use this power in bad faith, yes? But no, the fairness doctrine has nothing to do with Fox News, it never applied to cable
