No loss

[MikeN]

None of these news channels are doing us any good. I don’t care if it’s Fox, MSNBC, CNN or whatever. They ALl have an agenda. We need to get back to reporting the facts

This is going to get very political very fast.
The crazies have been let loss.

We all have our likes and our dislikes. But... when we're doing news - when we're doing the front-page news, not the back page, not the op-ed pages, but when we're doing the daily news, covering politics - it is our duty to be sure that we do not permit our prejudices to show. That is simply basic journalism.

Source: Wikipedia, however, it is easy to research from many sites:

The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.[1] In 1987, the FCC abolished the fairness doctrine,[2] prompting some to urge its reintroduction through either Commission policy or congressional legislation.[3] The FCC removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011.[4]
The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been cited as a contributing factor in the rising level of party polarization in the United States.[5][6]
While the original purpose of the doctrine was to ensure that viewers were exposed to a diversity of viewpoints, it was used by both the Kennedy and later the Johnson administration to combat political opponents operating on talk radio. In 1969 the United States Supreme Court, in Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, upheld the FCC's general right to enforce the fairness doctrine where channels were limited. However, the court did not rule that the FCC was obliged to do so.[7] The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the doctrine.

Now, we are products of which channels we choose. We are in a new media world, we are each identified by algorithms, which feed us more of the same.

United we Stand, Divided we fall. And cattiness is not helping. Discussions and ability to discuss and debate without name calling might be a great start to keep a Democracy.

Now, our anger, and viewership keep whole networks alive. Feeding often, anger, and a sense of unjustness - that very well could be manufactured by a station or source- that has a ‘sales/ratings’ and not Truth agenda.

Corporate media is the last place I would go for useful information.

Comcast can just raise cable rates to make up for any loss of business revenue.
