The Federal Communications Commission axed “the Fairness Doctrine and 83 other ‘outdated and obsolete media-related rules,'” Fox News reported.

According to Fox News, the Fairness Doctrine was established 62 years ago and called on “licensed broadcasters to share airwaves equally for competing political points of view.”

However, the FCC stated that “it has not enforced the doctrine for 20 years.”
