Didn’t get past #1. He supported it (Fairness Doctrine) because, at the time, the only news we had was, Cronkite, Huntley-Brinkley and one other socialist news network.
There are plenty of things Newt did that I’m not thrilled with but starting right off with something that may have been reasonable at the time, does not help your cause.
He supported it because he believed CONSERVATISM was in danger.
Supporting the Fairness Doctrine goes against Conservatism, as it was when the Fairness Doctrine was REMOVED (Thank you Ronald Reagan) that we got the likes of Rush Limbaugh.
