Nope, this is a culture war distraction. The fairness doctrine was an affront to free speech so we can go back and forth about its merits and detractions as nauseam. The real problem is the lost class war that allows any single human to be wealthy enough to own an entire media machine in the first place.
Yeah, fairness doctrine is shit. I would prefer a law where when a media source deliberately spreads misinformation, the must provide equal time and visibility for an approved retraction.
So when fox had all those assholes come on and talk about how migrants were eating all the cats and dogs, based on one the Twitter post recounting the story of a friends daughter's friend's temporarily missing cat, they should have had to run equal time segments on the same channels and local stations admitting that they failed a basic journalistic test to question the validity of that info, and that after further investigation it appears to be blatantly false.
