If not, and you don’t understand it, or the impact it had, maybe consider that you’re talking about a topic you don’t even understand.
Fox as is, would be illegal under the fairness doctrine and would be shutdown.
- origin_path 4y agoAll American broadcast media would be illegal under an actually strict interpretation of such a doctrine, which is why such doctrines are never actually enforced as written. The fairness doctrine would not make US media "fair". It would be exactly what it is everywhere else that tried this - state censorship of viewpoints that upset the establishment. I understand that fact very well indeed, given that I can and do directly compare media between a place that has such a rule and places that don't. Congress was correct to abolish it. The UK should do the same thing.
