    Ronald Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine.

    Back when radio was first starting, the FCC restricted the number of stations any one entity could own. It was one TV station and two radio stations [one AM, one FM] in a market. If any station put on an editorial they were required to offer equal time to the opposing points of view.

    When the Right saw Nixon get taken down by the press, they knew they had to do something to prevent anything like that happening again.
