We all know that Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine.
This gave birth to the Corporate-Sponsered wave of Right Wing control of our mainstream media. This is a fact that the Progressives must accept.
The best way to fight it is to have all those Democrats and Progressives that can't get a fair shake from Right-leaning hosts, anchors and commentators, refuse to participate.
The DNC should notify all mainstream media outlets that unless they honor the spirit of the Fairness Doctrine that they can not count on an opposing veiwpoint any longer.
Think about shrinking audience levels for all these networks and cable outlets as they become just a one note chorus for the Right. FOX already owns the label as rhe place to go to hear the Right Wing sing. The mainstream audience gets sliced in half as the public gets wise to the Right-Wing tactics that have divided this Nation.
Very quickly you will see a willingness on the part of mainstream media to install their own Fairness Doctrine.
The advertisers will demand it as they see audience levels drop.
