Lack of Fairness Doctrine is Shredding US Society

When President Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine he created the insane hell we are seeing today, where opposing social groups operate with a completely different set of basic facts and are therefore destined for conflict and not cooperation. 
The Fairness Doctrine required that all politically opinionated programming on the nation's publicly owned airwaves, offer at least some small rebuttal to their standard programming.
Even Rush Limbaugh has admitted that he could never have developed his cult-like following if Reagan had not ended the Fairness Doctrine. That is true, because when networks and programs are allowed to give only their own set of facts it's possible to convince most people of anything, true or untrue. But, with only a little bit of contrary information presented to most viewers, they become free thinkers who ask good questions.
It's the difference in learning versus being brainwashed and ripped off.
