This is why Reagan was so hot to get rid of the Fairness Doctrine back in the day.
After Watergate the different sides learned two different lessons.
The Left learned that we needed an open media because without it democracy was in peril.
The Right learned that they needed to destroy the idea of an open and honest media.
- the fairness doctrine only applied to broadcast TV and radio. the logic was since there were limited airwaves, news was required to present both sides. never had anything to do with cable networks, print media, the internet, or anything else.
  in fact the fairness doctrine could lead to false balance being presented, depending on how courts rule "fair". for example, do we want to give equal time and attention to both sides on mostly settled issues like climate change?
  
  So?

  Cable is regulated by the FCC. We could have prevented Fox News from becoming a thing, but we didn't.
would have been pretty cool though
- Not for all the fish
  
  I mean, they dye the river green every year for St. Patrick's Day. I imagine there are equally safe red dyes.
"Democrats dump 10,000 decaliters of ketchup into Chicago River to celebrate abortion during DNC"
- Well it would be sacrilege to put it on their hot dogs, so what else are they supposed to do with all that ketchup?
- Chicagoians dump 10,000 decaliters of ketchup into Chicago River to prevent it from being put on hotdogs.
