The older generation grew up with the #FairnessDoctrine and would likely not expect a news source to be allowed on air as news if it was all lies.

I wish there was a different way. Perhaps like a streaming service subscription where we could pick an amount, say 20 publications for some amount $10 or $20 a month and each one get a share. I say this because I cannot afford to be a Patreon of every podcast nor subscribe to every newspaper and magazine. And literally I only read a few each month from most, especially those on opposite coasts .

Or maybe a fee per article like affordable. Ten cents. Or buy an access card like public transportation. But something I have learned when I cut the cable is I don't want to contribute to publications that sponsor misinformation like fox news. So a blanket subscription would need tailored options. I am sure maga don't want to support certain outlets either.

Fairness Reconsidered: Receiving Audience as a Commons

The conceit of the Fairness Doctrine was that broadcast spectrum was a commons, and a limited public resource, arbitrarily allocated to a given (usually private) party. The right came with the obligation to manage this common resource in the public interest....

[What if we hold that] that public mindshare is itself a commons, and should be held and managed in the public interest. There’s a point at which reach or penetration themselves become exploitation of a public resource, and concern over the impacts of such reach are legitimate public concerns.

In information theory, a Sender transmits through a Channel to a Reciver. Fairness Doctrine was concerned with the receiver, but justified on the basis of the channel. I'm arguing that receiver itself is a valid justification.

An idea I'm kicking around. As with other recent posts, much of the meat is in comments, though the main article does cover much of the basics in this case.

The FCC introduced the Fairness Doctrine in 1949, requiring broadcasters to present both sides of controversial issues. In 1987, during the Reagan administration, the rule was eliminated. Within a year Rush Limbaugh was on the air. From that point on, it is pretty much a straight line to the media landscape we have today.

Restore the #FairnessDoctrine

The pro-Trump media world peddled the lies that fueled the Capitol mob. Fox News led the way. -
