Eh, I feel like all it would do is give people excuses to present ideas like those from the KKK or the radical 'kill all men' feminists like actually valid ideas

Please, bring it back! It seemed to me that we were all forming opinions using the same set of facts back then. It was much, much better before that law was repealed.

No way in hell do I want the government mandating what the media can, cant, and has to broadcast

No. It would be used as a tool by whatever administration is in power to hammer broadcasters that speak or against their viewpoint.

No, it'll just be used to eliminate conservative viewpoints

Just because they cover it doesn't mean they'll cover it fairly or accurately.
