The only thing Texas democrats will flipping is their soy burgers 🍔
Colbert should've retired during Covid-19, and today he is like an appendix who is unaware of its own insignificance.
Targeted Policy: The Fairness Doctrine (requiring balanced viewpoints on public issues) was repealed, (which requires equal airtime for political candidates).
Action taken: Reagan vetoed legislation in June 1987 that aimed to codify the Fairness Doctrine into law, allowing the FCC to proceed with its abolition.
Reagan's Rationale: Reagan believed that content-based regulation by the government was incompatible with the freedom of the press and that the increase in media outlets made the doctrine obsolete.
Impact: The repeal allowed for the rise of partisan, specifically conservative, talk radio and cable news.
Talarico is a breath of fresh air in today’s polluted political climate! 💙 LOVE TALARICO!

Not over FCC fears – over complicit criminal, constitutional crimes.
