The FD merely required broadcasters to devote airtime to subjects of public interest and present contrasting views, not equal time, on those subjects.

The Equal Time Rule is a separate regulation that applies only to competing political candidates. It is still in existence today.

It is not a fair question. The Fairness Doctrine did not apply to news. It required holders of broadcast licenses to provide some airtime for diverse viewpoints on matters of public importance.

Limbaugh was talent, not a license holder. It never applied to him.

Of everything you read, always be the most suspicious of headlines/tweets/xeets/skeets/bleats that reinforce your worst impressions about someone or something.

Bad actors rely on confirmation bias to shut off rational thought.

WHY ARE PEOPLE FOLLOWING ME I HAVE NOTHING INTERESTING TO SAY.

I come here to doomscroll and groan at bad puns; I add no value to any discussion.

Y'all perplex me.
