The Fairness Doctrine: Should We Bring it Back?

2024 presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. says that if elected, he would restore the Fairness Doctrine and update it for the internet media age.

In this highlight from "Strange Bedfellows" Episode 14, Rick and I discussed the Fairness Doctrine -- an American law in effect from 1928-1986 requiring the media to present both sides of every story.

We argue that since the Fairness Doctrine was abolished by President #Reagan, journalism has fallen into the predictable trap of partisan propaganda rather than actual news.

In theory, we agree with #RFKJr that the Fairness Doctrine needs a return, but how would it work in the 21st Century when most people get their news from independent media online? The internet news media isn't regulated by the FCC, so how could the government possibly enforce it without veering into #censorship?

We discuss all that and more here.
