The Death of Fairness
In 1986 a floodgate opened, changing radio forever. The FCC rescinded the "Fairness Doctrine" which eliminated the requirement to broadcast "contrasting points of view" on American broadcast TV and Radio airwaves. A variety of radio hucksters, began preaching conspiracies and lies as facts, and paved America's path to social division. The Death of Fairness is a story shining a spotlight on the impact of this decision that hits a little too close to home and is based on actual events.
