Fair and Balanced
Remember back in the day on TV if you had a speaker with one point of view that you also had to a speaker with the other point of view? It was called the Fairness doctrine and Ronald Reagan didn't like fairness, it was too fair and balanced ( see ?! there is that phrase again!) and it allowed alternate points of view to find a home on the airwaves and Raygun didn't like that. So, more or less, kind of, if you squint your eyes, if we had The Fairness Doctrine today we would not have FAUX News. Go here and sign a petition to get it back.
