The "Fairness Doctrine" of equal time was dropped decades ago. I think Reagan was president then.FCC cracking down on liberal talk-shows not giving equal airtime to GOP guests
A study conducted last month by the Media Research Center found that “The View” had 128 liberal guests on the show throughout 2025 while only inviting two conservatives.
This is a serious problem that I am glad is being addressed.

Depends. One example predates Reagan and involves the actor George Taki. Taki was running for a local office at the same time the animated version of Star Trek came out. The station held off airing the first few episodes until after the election because of Taki's character Sulu and Taki's voice.
Liberals barely even watch The View. I have personally NEVER seen a single episode and only a few clips here and there.
We hear plenty. Irrational, hateful political points of view are easily dismissed. Just because people don't like what you have to say doesn't mean they aren't listening and considering what that view actually entails and how it effects the political discourse.
Tell me you don’t wait for your oil changes without telling me you don’t wait for your oil changes.
No, but my exposuer come from YouTube when right wingers are pointing out the hypocrisy.
Yes whats good for the goose.
What I am saying is that it seems like many never even heard of or considered various viewpoints when properly presented.
The vast majority of shows on broadcast tv are not formatted to "properly present" ideas of any sort. About the only ones that are would be 60 Minutes and similar long-form interview shows, all of which I could probably count on one hand. Everything else is too short, too entertainment focused, and too dumb.
Liberals have dominated the media during my lifetime, and radio was no exception. Paul Harvey and a sprinkling of conservative hosts around the country was about all there was. Talk shows were not big, when I was a kid I would find what I could for talk radio late at night and fall asleep listening. Ronald Reagan helped get rid of the Fairness Act, which was anything but fair, it had helped liberals keep control over radio content. The establishment media had their narratives, Sydney Schanberg, who won his Pulitzer while at the New York Times, one of last of the dying breed of investigative reports, pointed out just how shocked people would be to learn how "boiler plate" articles had become. Rush Limbaugh was key to the burgeoning of AM radio, he spent countless hours researching facts and was able to combine the facts with humor and pointed out the hypocrisy of so many liberal positions. The New York Times was one of his favorite targets. Because the establishment media had little competition and had controlled the narrative they weren't use to anyone showing them up with the facts. Limbaugh become hated by many of them, a lot like Trump is today. The establishment has been unable to shut down conservative radio, I don't know if you remember but at one point they even tried to eliminate AM radios from new vehicles. It's a lot easier to point out the errors in liberalism (and conservative radio hosts thus have more content) than to try to do so with conservativism, conservatism is much more going with what has worked in the past. In an open field conserative talk show hosts dominate.
I tend to agree. Liberals seem to have the majority as far as TV talk shows and mainstream news where conservatives seem to dominate talk radio. I don't trust the government to be able to intervene and make everything "fair "
