Fairness Doctrine

In my eyes after reading the articles associated with the Fairness Doctrine, I say have it reinstated. It seems that all it would do is make the news media markets more moderate if anything. Without it, most news markets are going to continue to be of the conservative type. It would be nice to see some balance in the news today. Reinstating the doctrine wouldn't push anyone or anything towards liberal views in today's society. It would attempt to balance out what needs to be balanced out. Trying to watch the same thing day in and day out is starting to get old, and quick. Every show you turn on, whether it be on FOX News, CNN, or MSNBC; the consensus of these shows are conservative hard-liners. Some of these hosts on their respective channels try to report from both sides of the fence but they don't do a very good job at it. So with that being said, what's the big deal about the fairness doctrine? It might do the country some good to see a news story with a different perspective for a change.
