Broadcast News (1987)
How likely is Obama to revive the Fairness Doctrine to force Fox News to show favorable programming about him?
n June 1987, Congress had attempted to preempt the FCC decision and codify the Fairness Doctrine [13], but the legislation was vetoed by President Ronald Reagan. Another attempt to revive the doctrine in 1991 was stopped when President George H.W. Bush threatened another veto.[14]
Two corollary rules of the doctrine, the “personal attack” rule and the “political editorial” rule, remained in practice until 2000. The “personal attack” rule applied whenever a person (or small group) was subject to a personal attack during a broadcast. Stations had to notify such persons (or groups) within a week of the attack, send them transcripts of what was said and offer the opportunity to respond on-the-air. The “political editorial” rule applied when a station broadcast editorials endorsing or opposing candidates for public office, and stipulated that the unendorsed candidates be notified and allowed a reasonable opportunity to respond.
