Fairness doctrine could’ve prevented this and a whole lot of other shit.
Was it perfect? Hell no, but it ensured journalists had to equally cover all sides of a story. It was a decent start compared to now, where news is more entertainment than news.

Journalism use to be about the story. Now days it’s garbage. People should be given the information in the least biased method.

Yeah, that’s because the fairness doctrine was removed from application by the FCC, and congress’ attempt to codify into law was veto’d by Reagan.

I don’t think it should be forced. I just think ethical people would require it. This isn’t a my side good. Your side bad. Both sides have done this. It use to be the news was less biased and the opinion piece was biased

Once again it wasn’t perfect but the quality of the information was much better than it is today.
I’m not trying to take sides I just stated historical facts.
