Political Factoid

Back in 1987 the Federal
Communications Commission
repealed the "Fairness Doctrine"
that had required broadcasters
to provide all sides of
controversial issues.
This unleashed the floodgate
of big-money to fund rightwing
talk radio (and later cable
and satellite channels)
spewing ideological political
propaganda unchecked.
