The Fairness Doctrine was a policy that required holders of broadcast licenses provide some airtime for diverse viewpoints on matters of public importance. It never applied to news and done away with in 1987.
It constitutionally could not apply to cable, or print.
When that happened in 1987, I noticed a significant uptick in Political Talk radio, which started the trend of giving a one-sided view on issues—your thoughts.
71 sun circuits but only two paydays, thank you for the virtual welcome chocolates under the pillow.
Ah, to be new again not wearing this wrinkled disguise!
Wouldn’t it be amazing if Trump and Musk thought they were headed to the rally but ended up in federal custody instead. It would be a blessing for us and the world if they drove directly to a US Penitentiary with no access to the outside world.
Many are tired of the toxicity at the other place. It's only going to get worse, too. I'm closing that account Monday morning. Welcome newbies! Enjoy the peaceful halls of Bluesky.
Democracy dies also when corporate party lawyers & colleagues are tasked with interfering with and blocking the ballot access of minor parties, like the Greens.
This is your wake up call BlueSky. Write/call your senators and tell them NO to Russell Vought. An architect of Project 2025. If you don’t know him, look him up.
HE WANTS TO 🔥 DEMOCRACY TO THE GROUND in the first 180 days (pillar 4 of P2025). Trump will have absolute control.
Trying to help folks get started with my Starter Packs of "Accounts with Starter Packs". Over 200 accounts in 13 SPs,all with one or multiple Starter Packs. All vetted. Some very specific interests...some general resisters.
Thanks so much, Mr. Elias, for being such an inspiration — your story about the WW II POW harvesting German potatoes is one I share with any of my compadres who are feeling helpless. And thanks so much for the awesome Starter Pack!

I like it here.
And always tax the rich.
Thanks for being a helper Marc.
So much better than the billionaire judicial SCOTUS club, fearful DOJ and powerless elected representatives.

This is no joke.
After 8 years you and @briantylercohen.bsky.social helped me understand a lot.
You are both beacons of light for democracy, your reach goes beyond your country
