Question

The FCC created the Fairness Doctrine to prevent which of these?

the few who had broadcast licenses from giving airtime to only their own viewpoints
newspapers, radio, and television from allowing the views of the few to dominate the media
NBC from having a monopoly over the radio business

Answer 1

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.

Answer 2

I know. Let me post an excerpt from my lesson. Any of those could be the answer.

Answer 3

NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) owned the majority of the broadcast licenses that were available and therefore had total control over radio. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) felt that this was unfair and forced NBC to sell off some of its pieces and several new networks, including ABC and CBS, formed. However, there still were far more people who wanted to be part of broadcasting and could not. To protect the public and assure that the content on the radio still reflected views of people who couldn't get a broadcast license, the FCC made the Fairness Doctrine in 1934. The Fairness Doctrine said that networks had to devote equal time to views other than their own and those that they supported.

Answer 6

According to what I found on the Wikipedia, the answer is quite clear. :)

The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was, in the Commission's view, honest, equitable and balanced.
