Sorry, I should have put /s at the end of my comment. On the other hand, you can easily win a lottery by buying tickets with every number possible on them!

Thank you, very good article - I was watching news from the 60's on and it still seemed that the huge change happened in the 1980s.

I guess my problem is that I lived through watching the news since the 1960s and noticed an extreme change around the time that the Fairness Doctrine was removed. I 'assumed' that it was one of the reasons for the change - thanks for the info.

Did you not just say that the fairness doctrine controlled that?

I realize I said it wrong; perhaps it is the way that infotainment groups like 'Fox News' give their editorial content like it was news?

Wild and thank you- Why was it that news channels changed after the doctrine was removed?

So they expand the legislation to cover cable, as well as airways.

As I said elsewhere, have you never heard of the Fairness Doctrine?

The regulation that primarily addressed fairness in news in the United States was the Fairness Doctrine, a policy of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that was in effect from 1949 to 1987.

The same reasons the government had before cable, and yet the first amendment seemed to work up to that point. Amazingly the FCC and before that the FRC had been regulating the airways since 1927, making sure that news broadcasts were actually broadcasting news, not infotainment.
