Great song by Green Day. You sound like you're one of the ones that aren't though. I like your enthusiasm & agree there's got to a way out of this.

Fairness doctrine seems well-intentioned & was definitely the right idea when owning a broadcast licence really was a natural monopoly in effect.

Today, media can represent more than 2 points of view. Like music genres, there are so many sides to a story.

Two sides to something, like for example the Vietnam War, is insufficient when both ignore a great wrong being carried out.

The social networks & individuals promulgating mistruths & hate need to be held responsible. Regulation in the spirit of the Fairness Doctrine is needed here, I think probably in combination with education in information literacy.
