rule in a manner that does not meet the requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act. They can't regulate by guidance. Ironically, Vought is trying to get rid of all agency guidance.

Caitlin is a she and I am really surprised to see you call the Fairness Doctrine "old bad shit" because 99.9% of the posts on BSKY clamor for it to be reinstated. But the reason I said that is that this is not a recreation of the FD in any way, shape, or form. It is an extension of the equal time

Do you really believe that there will be enough Republican votes in the House to impeach and enough votes in the Senate to convict?

The Lake Michigan story has a big whole in it. Trump didn't buy that yacht until 1998 and as best I can tell, it was never in Lake Michigan. When he sold it, it became a floating casino in Gary, Indiana, overlooking Lake Michigan.

That isn't even Cliff notes. That is AI slop. The FCC under Reagan abolished the FD in a unanimous decision - 2 Republican commissioners and 2 Democratic commissioners.

Are you saying that you have a Fairness Doctrine in Canada? I have looked for something equivalent and have not found it. Can you provide a link?

Yes I know that and that's why I was surprised that you referred to the Fairness Doctrine in your post.

I did read it and it is primarily about the equal time rule. I am quite surprised that a Harvard-trained lawyer who specializes in 1A issues made reference to the Fairness Doctrine.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Fairness Doctrine. It is a different law that has been in effect continuously since 1934. Here is a 2022 fact sheet explaining it.

The Fairness Doctrine never applied to news coverage. It applied only to editorial content. It required broadcast tv & radio stations to allocate some time to discussion of controversial issues of public concern and, in so doing, present differing points of view.
