Existing law is irrelevant, as enforcement mechanisms have been corrupted.

A big part of the corruption is your corrupt philosophy of government. Under the rules of FDR, corporations were required to operate in the public good, and THEN to the benefit of share holders.

Under Reagan's rules, their requirements were reduced to only the latter - benefiting share holders.

Since there is a mighty screech going on from conjobs about fake news, I'm checking in with you girls to see whether you are merely whining and crying even while winning, or if you have come around to MY view that corporations should be required to operate in the public interest or not at all.

From your answer, I divine that it's whining and crying, as regards fake news. Y'all don't want ot actually DO anything - just wanna bellyache.

You are also historically wrong. The FCC under Reagan abolished the fairness doctrine.

What led to massive corporate ownership, particularly in the radio industry, was the Telecommunications Act of 1996 signed by Bill Clinton:

Your hatred of all things Reagan has led to make major mistakes on this thread.

This is why I asked you to be specific. All Reagan did was support the abolition of the Fairness Doctrine. So no, I do not believe that is needed today.

What you meant to ask is should we return to the rules that Clinton removed.

I have been waiting for you to realize this, pops. I worked in the radio industry following the enactment of that bill.
