When i was growing up, tv had what was known as the “Fairness Doctrine” what this meant was simple: TV station gives an editorial. If you had an opposing view, you could write and ask to state it. Simple.
Fairness Doctrine: Newspaper Editorial + Letters to the Editor
But to Wingnut Radio, IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!! Not that those who listen would hear the opposite view. No, they’re content to lose their home while hearing Limbaugh and Hannity and Beck tell them “jobs are bad”
