@MKW@mstdn.social @georgetakei now do we resolve that? The Fairness Doctrine was passed as confirmation that the airwaves belong to We the People. That radio waves & the entities that carroed programs on them, were obligated to provide objective information to their listeners. They were to assure, as part of their FCC license, to provide multiple views / opinions. Syndication destroyed local content. And generated the AM crap as carried by Salem Media etc.
