    Hopefully not our current supreme court, because that’s where any rehashed version of the fairness doctrine would undoubtably end up. And from the purely originalist stance that this court would obviously take, it is a pretty cut-and-dry first amendment issue.

    There’s also the point that truths and facts are two totally different yet related things. Truths are the subjective interpretations of objective facts.

    Two people can experience the exact same thing and have a wildly different telling of the exact same events. Neither are necessarily untruthful, but through the omission or inclusion of various facts and context, hell even tone, the truth can be told wildly different ways.

    This is quite obvious when watching different news networks cover the exact same event.
