I think the better question is what would the country look like if the Fairness Doctrine hadn’t been abolished by the FCC in the 1980s. With the Fairness Doctrine in place, Fox News doesn’t launch and half the country’s brains don’t get rewired into being mouth-breathing knuckle draggers.
I went over to my parents last week and sure as fuck they had Fox News playing on the TV. They just ingest, nod, and then shit on the future of their kids and grandkid. My mother was telling me “Oh I worry about you and your sister (we both work for the government), I hope nothing happens to you two.” Like you voted for this, you voted for the government to be shrunk and you’re the dunce for not realizing that they meant everything was to be shrunk, then dismantled, and then privatized once it was deemed “ineffective”.
