The Fairness Doctrine: A Solution In Search Of A Problem, Adrian Cronauer

Federal Communications Law Journal

The "Fairness Doctrine" refers to a former policy of the Federal Communications Commission wherein a broadcast station which presented one viewpoint on a controversial public issue had to afford the opposing viewpoint an opportunity to be heard.

Part II is a brief review of the Riley trilogy, with an emphasis on the …
