She’s not wrong. The Fairness Doctrine put pressure on broadcasters to provide factual information. Remember who did away with the Fairness Doctrine?

She’s wrong.

The FD was a policy for local broadcast stations licensed by the FCC for the spectrum to devote some airtime at their discretion to diversity of views. It never was a law. It never prevented lies. It never regulated news.

The Fairness Doctrine did no such thing - it never mandated "factual information"
