Fairness Doctrine

I think the Fairness Doctrine should be implemented. I think it is necessary to hear both sides of every story. We get the majority of our news from TV and it should be important to let the viewers hear both sides. It's like what Racz said, "The Fairness Doctrine simply prohibited stations from broadcasting from a single perspective, day after day, without presenting opposing views." I think it would help balance our information, let us chose what we want to agree with, rather than everything be chosen for us. Unfortunately, I don't think the doctrine will work in our society today. Media is so "one-sided" and controlled by that "one-side" that the doctrine will never take place. Everything is too political.
