Link , Link , Link , Link , Link , Link , Link , [The FCC announced the Fairness Doctrine in 1949. It required TV and radio stations to allocate some of their programming for issues of public importance. Controversially, it also required TV and radio broadcasters to allow for the fair coverage of those issues. It burdened broadcasters with a duty to include opposing views and opinions in their programming. Opposition to the Fairness Doctrine has been a firmly held platform in conservative circles for decades, and the Reagan-era abolition of the Fairness Doctrine has been viewed as a major milestone in the Reagan revolution. Thus, it’s not surprising that Trump (courting conservative votes) would criticize the Fairness Doctrine. Yet, Trump’s recent “Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship” also reads like a modern-day Internet Fairness Doctrine. ]
