The FCC Fairness Doctrine has not been a thing since 1987. If they want it back, they should go through the proper channels. This “legislation” based on Trump’s whims is pure theater designed to flood the zone with endless distraction.
The FCC only regulates broadcast media over the airwaves. The public owns radio spectrum, so is federally regulated. Content sent over privately owned wires is protected by the 1st Amendment.
