And that\u2019s very, very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other forms of communication, he noted, once had legal safeguards in place to prevent such a monopoly under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaganlibrary.gov\/archives\/topic-guide\/fairness-doctrine#:~:text=The%20Fairness%20Doctrine%2C%20enforced%20by,set%20a%20biased%20public%20agenda.\">Fairness Doctrine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>First introduced by the Federal Communications Council (FCC) in 1949, the Fairness Doctrine required broadcast networks to cover and devote equal airtime to conflicting views on issues of public interest. This included granting equal time to candidates for public office and those personally attacked on air. In 1959, a portion of the policy became law when Congress amended the Communications Act to include the equal airtime rule.<\/p>\n<p>For years, the doctrine faced opposition from those who felt it violated First Amendment rights. In 1987, under the Reagan administration, it was formally repealed by the FCC, save for the provisions regarding editorial coverage and responses from those personally attacked. Those provisions remained in effect until 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Although controversial, those safeguards, Kennedy said, served to prevent \u201cexactly what\u2019s happening today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Fairness Doctrine\u2019s repeal, he said, \u201callowed this consolidation of all the big communications companies. So now, I think you have four companies that control \u2026 virtually all the radio and all the television stations in our country, all the newspapers, and most of the large internet content providers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tech Giants or CIA Assets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With the introduction of digital and social media, Kennedy noted that even the traditional communications monopolies had been supplanted by Big Tech companies, some of which have contracted with intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CIA has a hedge fund called In-Q-Tel\u2014or an investment fund\u2014which funded a lot of the Silicon Valley companies. Customarily, they fund you and then they help you find government contracts for your technology. In the process of that, most of those people are required to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youtube-removes-another-rfk-jr-interview\/\" title=\"YouTube removes RFK Jr. interview once again.\">sign state secrecy agreements<\/a>, which give them huge penalties \u2026 if you even tell anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube censors Robert F.
