Broadcast media have had the privilege of using a scarce and valuable public resource—our airwaves. In turn, they are required by law to operate in the public interest.
When the transition is complete, the FCC will enforce this public interest obligation.
Also look into activities of the IC and the networks after Obama effectively killed Smith-Mundt.
Would that mean they would have to start giving both sides equally?
That's a slippery slope. They'll give a Biden 5 hours and a Trump 30 seconds and say its equal treatment.
I'm more of 'honest reporting'.
Example: Remember NBC and the exploding truck? That should have put the broadcast license in immediate jeopardy in my mind. A weasel worded mea culpa doesn't cut it, or "we are sorry you didn't understand the nuance'. The proper path would be: "we effed up, and those responsible along with those who went along with it are fired, and their future prospects in this industry will be close to nil."
Cancel all the airwaves usage rights and re-auction them.
The Radio networks were stacked full of Progressives. Then WWII censorship piled them up in the radio networks, higher and deeper.
After WWII, the radio networks became the Television Networks. We have been living in a Mediacracy since at least 1964. President Trump finally broke the Mediacracy, as it has been trading credibility for short term political power since 1994. Competition has shown the legacy Media (the backbone of the Mediacracy) to be unable to sustain their chosen narrative, and with that, their power.

Step 1: Eliminate all public broadcasting station licenses.
Then we can debate step 2.
My maternal Grandfather was ahead of his time re realizing that the early radio and later tv so called radio/tv news was communist as he labeled it or progressive.
Totally agree with this. 50% of the people in this country forced at gunpoint to fund media which hates them and does not serve them. The government should terminate all CPB funded station licenses at the end of their current terms (between 2027 and 2030) and then auction all frequencies off to the highest bidder, which can then use them for either commercial or non-commercial broadcasting at their discretion.
