Fairness Doctrine - Stop Fake News Media !!



The new Fairness Doctrine reins in the Fake News !!


The new FCC imposes penalties on media which disseminates false facts it claims are true. 


Finally, fake CNN and MSNBC shut down !!


Here's how it works:


When a party sues a broadcast or online media outlet alleging the broadcast of a fake news item and after the item is judged fake by the court, the FCC shall impose a penalty of $1.0 million for the first offense, $10.0 Million for the second and $100.0 million for the third offense. On the fourth such offense, the FCC shall suspend the license of the guilty party for 6 months. Further suspensions will be at the discretion of the FCC Board.


ONLINE MEDIA

The new FCC includes online platforms as well as newspapers, radio and television. The money penalties are the same for online platforms as for traditional media. But, instead of suspending a license, the FCC shall cut off access to the internet for offending parties, including Twitter, Face Book and You Tube.


When a party sues an online outlet alleging the posting of a fake news item and after the item is judged fake by the court, the FCC shall impose a penalty on the platform of $1.0 million for the first offense, $10.0 Million for the second and $100.0 million for the third offense. On the fourth such offense, the FCC shall suspend internet access of the guilty party for 6 months. Further suspensions will be at the discretion of the FCC Board.


EQUAL TIME


The old Fairness Doctrine 'required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters.' [wikipedia]


Media are  '...given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented...' [wikipedia]
