[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think that abolishing the Fairness Doctrine made political division worse. However, the internet and social media are much larger contributors to political dysfunction. Social media makes it too easy for people to only see information that confirms their existing beliefs, and content is specifically curated to align with individual user perspectives. Algorithms that boost engagement actively encourage people to go down the rabbit hole of extremism (on both sides) because it is profitable. [/quote] Had the Fairness Doctrine not been abolished, I think social media would have evolved differently. I will never forget watching Rush Limbaugh’s television show and him calling Chelsea Clinton a dog. A child going through puberty and he felt it was acceptable to bring her into the fight and muddy her. There have been several ugly inflection points that never would have happened without the Fairness Doctrine’s disappearance. [/quote]
