The Fairness Doctrine needs to be reinstated.
The fairness doctrine was a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) policy. The FCC believed that broadcast licenses (required for both radio and terrestrial TV stations) were a form of public trust and, as such, licensees should provide balanced and fair coverage of controversial issues. The policy was a casualty of Reagan Administration deregulation.
The Fairness Doctrine should not be confused with the Equal Time Rule.

I agree. At least there needs to be some standards. I don't know how that would work in the internet age though.

It could work, and we have smart people who could enforce.
