By approving Biden's nominees to the Federal Communications Commission who pledge to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.

To paraphrase a past senator: you have the right to your opinion, but you don't have the right to your own facts.

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and expand it to cable. Repeal the fascist 1996 Telecommunications Act and bring back ownership caps. Classify social media sites as public utilities.

legislators are themselves major sources of misinformation.  I have no interest in giving them control over what people are allowed to say online.

fairness doctrine is a violation of free speech and is a dumb and unenforceable regulation
