Good. Really needs to be a law. Not sure how much FTC action would survive the courts.
Oddly, the one link I can't find is the order itself. This is a statement, rather than the actual order. I can't find it on the White House site or the Federal Register.
1. Most sources of news that people consume would be exempt as the fairness doctrine only works on broadcast TV.
2. The doctrine was often used as a political cudgel to silence criticism.

Obama was in the office from 2009 to 2017. Facebook's Instagram and Whatapp acquisitions happened in that period so go ask Obama and FTC at the time why this acquisitions were allowed.
Obama was two times in the office in the last 10 years and Trump once. Why Democrats didn't urge Obama and FTC to stop "harmful" acquisitions in the 8 years time of Obama's presidency?
