What Went Wrong? No Fairness Doctrine

Political philosopher John Kerry has
stumbled
on the reason for his defeat, according
to political humorist P.J. O’Rourke. The abolition of the
FCC Fairness Doctrine back in the 1980s. “A lot of the mainstream media were very responsible during the campaign.
They tried to put out a balanced view, and they did show what they thought to be the truth
in certain situations of attack... But it never penetrated.”
If only we could bring back the Fairness Doctrine, then the MSM could retain control of the political
dialogue, wouldn’t they? No chance for out-of-control Swifties, eh Senator?
