Fairness Doctrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the history of the Fairness Doctrine, only one broadcaster permanently lost a license to operate a television station due to bias in coverage. WLBT 3 Jackson, Mississippi attained significant notoriety for its open support of racial segregation in Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s and its opposition to civil rights.^[7] The station also routinely removed portions of network news broadcasts covering civil rights issues, often under the pretext of technical difficulties, causing civil rights groups and the United Church of Christ to complain to the Federal Communications Commission.^[8]

I don't like the FCC to begin with, and this whole fairness doctrine seems kinda totalitarian. However this just underscores the need for the gov't to step into ensure social justice.
