When Reagan's FCC repealed the long-standing Fairness Doctrine (and he later vetoed a Congressional attempt to restore it in law), it allowed the creation of ideological echo chambers on the nation’s airwaves.

It happened just in time to save the career of Rush Limbaugh, a then-foundering radio personality who’d had short runs at multiple radio stations, usually ending with a firing. With no requirement to allow someone to call him out on his many distortions, omissions, and outright lies, he immediately began crafting a conservative talk radio format that would be imitated by a wave of lesser right-wingers.

So you’re a fan of censorship? Got it.

banning blatant lies from the airwaves is not censorship

Why would that not be censorship?
