- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

If only we had some kind of Doctrine which mandated that broadcast media must give equal time to opposite sides of an issue for the sake of Fairness. We could call it "The Equality Mandate", or something like that.
Srew equality doctrine. It never really had much effect anyway and can be abused to force even more right-wing content.
No, what we need is actual media consolidation and antitrust rules.
Maybe some journalism grants to keep smaller news organizations afloat.
government can control broadcasts because airwaves are public property, youtube is private, cable is private, facebook is private, etc, fairness doctrine was destined to become irrelevant (short of nationalizing facebook or big investment into public internet access, which, you know, good, but require at least mild progressives to win elections)
I'm not saying you don't have a point, but Fox is still the primary news source for a huge chunk of the population.
