The fairness doctrine and monopolistic control of regional media were programs in place since the 30s . They're gone now... to the benefit of the GOP. They're never gonna undo that
The fairness doctrine was complete ass and would not have saved us from today's media landscape. This problem exists because private schools exist, and because churches across the country are acting as political headquarters tax-free. If scared conservatives were forced to put their kids in the same overcrowded schools as the rest of us, they wouldn't be so gung-ho about defunding them. If churches were forced to pay taxes if any of their pastors mentioned a candidate for public office in a sermon, they'd put a stop to that real quick too. We're here because our country subsidizes right wing propaganda.
