What ever happened to Equal time laws?
“Equal time” always ended up as:
1. Free air time for Democrats.
2. Free air time for Democrats and a token ‘Republican’ who was pre-scripted to be the patsy.
3. Free air time for the craziest person whose philosophy could even vaguely be considered or conflated to on the “right” - actual Nazis, KKK members, that sort of thing so Democrats could have their time without effective sane opposition.
4. More free air time for Democrats and actual Republican content somehow never gets on the air.
In other words, it accomplished the opposite of what was claimed and it made even conservative-leaning media outlets have to carry loonie leftist crap.
Google “Fairness Doctrine Failure.” It is a good thing that the Fairness Doctrine was taken out back and shot a number of years ago.
