Almost like the only book the mango Mussolini read was by the moustachioed German dude from the late 30s.

Just once I’d like to see a reporter who knows he won’t be invited back respond with something like, “and you’re a terrible president you FN moron… !”

True, and I don’t for a moment believe that it will ever be attempted anyway. I wonder what the answer is though. A truly unbiased media isn’t possible, but how do we manage to get close? How do you build a news media system that calls out spin?

Honestly, I want implying that the FD was the only need here, but I thought it a (very small) move in the right direction. You’re quite correct in that media has changed drastically. Barn doors n horses.

That is in fact what this administration has done.

The end of the doctrine is often cited as a factor in the rise of partisan media, especially on talk radio and cable news.

I found was… The FD was based on the idea that broadcast license holders, because they used public airwaves, had an obligation to operate in the public interest. This required broadcasters to present controversial issues of public importance in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced.

Thank you. As a Canadian, I was unaware of some of the subtleties you mentioned.

Feel free to elaborate good sir. I’m not above changing my mind.

The fairness doctrine needs to be brought back in my humble opinion. Honestly, trump is a direct result of Reagan’s policies.

It almost seems that the NDP have seen the window shift to the right and decided that true leftist values aren’t worth the work anymore. I’ve voted NDP in every election, provincial and federal for 30 plus years, but I’d vote liberal if they had a chance in my riding this time.

Americans (some Americans anyway) have elected a turnip to the Whitehorse… and he’s apparently appointed the entire contents of the local green grocers to cabinet.

Given the recent statement by a certain French MEP, it seems my foresight was rather on point…😏
