"This Fairness Doctrine made TV and radio to give equal time to all sides of a political issue."

I can just imagine when CNN is forced to have a Neo-Nazi on air talking about Trump's wall. Hey, Neo-Nazis are one "side" of that political issue...

The "Fairness" doctrine is a stupid, blunt-instrument way to "fix" the political discussions of this nation.
