Its removal did not create free speech — it created a free market for lies. In the decades since, we have watched the deliberate weaponization of media — broadcast, cable, and digital — to manufacture outrage, suppress reality, and destabilize shared civic truth. The result is measurable: vaccine hesitancy, election denial, mass radicalization, and violence inspired by things people were told on screens. The law must catch up with the damage. A strengthened Fairness Doctrine would not silence opinion — it would make knowing fabrication a legal liability, not a business model. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/strengthen-the-fairness-doctrine-propaganda-gets-you-time
