Robert Reich Calls For Bringing Back The Fairness Doctrine

The Guardian has a new column from socialist friendly Robert Reich:

Create a new “fairness doctrine” requiring that all broadcasters, including cable, cover issues of public importance in ways that present opposing perspectives. This will be difficult to enforce, to be sure, but it would at least affirm the nation’s commitment to holding broadcasters to a higher standard than merely making money.

Robert Reich knows it will not work but the symbolic nature of it working ! It sort of like being for government schools that produce illiteracy.
