The Miami Herald case is an example of what happens when a state government tried to impose a fairness doctrine like policy to entities that were not subject to such regulations to begin with, cable channels would fall under such entities.

Cable channels like Fox News, just like the Miami Herald, had nothing to do with the fairness doctrine
And the courts were already starting to question doctrine, it was in fact that the courts that ordered the FCC to review the doctrine in 1987 on constitutional questions.

They really didn’t seem to like me pointing out that court system was starting to become a barrier against these type of policies.

Apparently showing someone the times when the court system questioned these policies in the 80s and beyond was enough to get me blocked, I hope their echo chamber is worth it.

The courts were already starting to look closely at policies like the fairness doctrine, it was the courts that ordered the FCC to review it in 1987 and they outright ordered the removal of some other similar broadcast policies in 1999/2000.

And Let’s not forget that Fox News and MSNBC were started the same year. Both essentially came out out of the ruins of the America’s Talking cable channel, a channel dedicated to opinion talk shows.

They are completely different content and earlier this year the FCC declared that a local fox affiliate not be held responsible for the content of Fox News.
Again, just like MSNBC and the various Disney Channel cable companies.

You make assertions so there must be something you’re basing on to make them.

It was created as a regulation on licensed broadcasters, there are still FCC broadcast regulations that exist even today and the government still doesn’t try to apply them to cable or satellite channels.
