    Yes, Fairness Doctrine under Reagan. Still, it’s elimination was- and still is- supported by liberals, using the false claim that it means bad udeas are treated as equal to good. Clinton signed the TCA though. Most of the people were just mad that Ckear Channel bought everything and forced us to hear the same 50 classic rock songs ad nauseum for eternity, but it also meant Salem Media Group (Salem…it’s right there) could have all the airwaves and Sinclair could have all the local TV news stations. Remember when we heard about all the tv stations reading the same company mission statements nationwide and we all thought that was litearallly 1984?..that was the result of the TCA. And look right here in this thread as liberals from all over actually attack me for pointing this out. They used actual government power to stomp out free speech and somehow I’m the bad guy.
