This is more clever: President Trump in charge of the FCC, making the rules for your "Fairness" doctrine. In that case, we all lose.
You mention two corporations that spew hate, but you fail to mention all the other corporations that do not. There are alternatives in this day and age; there are more than 4 broadcast news sources.
And really, who gives a flying **** about the radio stations you mention? Is the "Fairness" doctrine really going to help when only a small percentage actually tune into AM radio? (FM is all music, pretty much).
Finally, there are thousands of news sources beyond broadcast tv and radio. Those sources are not run on public airwaves and thus there really is no justification for abridging their first amendment rights.
