This is so important moving forward. Our citizens do not have the critical thinking skills to understand and classify information and sources to identify conflicts of interest. It must be legally required for major news outlets to remain unbiased and uninvested in the interpretation of the facts. We need the facts to determine what we believe, not to be told what to believe and be left to investigate ourselves in order to uncover the facts before we can get to the truth.
No.
The elimination of the fairness doctrine is what allowed for an expanded array of viewpoints on the airwaves in the first place.
And frankly, people are increasingly turning to sources beyond traditional airwaves anyway.
