Think around the Clinton era they got rid of some laws that prevent the media frim lying as much. I think only over air broadcast and PBS are held loosely to the original law. They can still have an opinion piece and every night the old people watching get to hear the opinion of a conservattive media mogul tell them what to think, like Sinclair and the other one I forget.
I think it’s cute that you think it took them all the way to the Clinton presidency for them to strip away those protections against propagandized media.

they also got rid of ownership-limits, used to he a hard cap on how much press/media landscapr a single person/company vould own.
now, 1 vompany owns 70% of radio across the US (and they give free air to republican/aipac politicians)

The Fairness Doctrine would force MSNBC to air the views of far right cretins. It doesn’t make sense in the modern media landscape.
