He and the Democrat Congress may go for the Fairness Doctrine but more likely to be successful and likely to be tried is a "community content" thing reqưiring radio stations to have their programming subject to veto by a group of "local citizens" that will be almost always leftist activists or at least mushy folks who don't like to hear anything negative about things or people that run things. Conservatives have jobs and don't normally have time for such things.

It's to drive the cost of running a "talk" station up to the point where most stations go to "Music and Sports" format. The doctrine will not apply to the national networks, both broadcast and cable, which are dominated by libs.
The purpose of all this is maintain them in power by providing "cover" for their actions, laws and policies which would be opposed by the people if those programs are widely known and understood.
