he fairness doctrine was a former US policy that required TV and radio broadcasters to present opposing viewpoints on any controversial topic that was important to the public. The abolition of this rule allowed one-sided networks to gain prominence. Now, nothing controls the amount of time given to opposing viewpoints. Networks can independently control this.
