In Reply to: You really think Congress is going to repeal the 1996 Telecommunications Act? posted by ghost of olddude55 on September 23, 2021 at 16:01:08:
From Wikipedia:"Required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced."
But that got repealed a few years back. Attempts at reinstating the Fairness Doctrine in Congress have repeatedly failed. Yup, you are right Ghost. The system is rigged and we are doomed to a dystopian media landscape.
