June is Black Music Month, and on the Drink Champs podcast, we're speaking with the hottest names in the culture, like Swae Lee. Do you realize how legendary you are?
I appreciate that. I be seeing it, but I'm like, man, I still got like so much more to do. Like Prince, he dropped like 30 albums. We dropped like five right now. That's the rate we got to be going.

2016 was sort of that last era of monoculture, where we still consumed things in community. Everybody wanted to be Beyonce at that point. I don't think we'll ever see another Beyonce. What does it mean to be Black and eat in America? You will never make me feel bad for being a Black girl, for being a Black American girl, ever.

Hey guys, it's me, Josh, and for this week's episode, I've chosen our 2022 episode on the Fairness Doctrine. It's been coming up all over the place lately, so I thought it was high time that we released it as a select. And I went back and listened to this one, and I found that Chuck just kind of sat back and really just let me go.

Chapter 2: What is the Fairness Doctrine and why was it implemented?
Because that happens a little bit. Or B, you can just join me over at Movie Crush. I cussed a lot over there.
Yeah. I think at first people were like, oh. And then now I think people go listen in part to hear you curse. They like to hear that blue streak coming out of that beard. They want to hear the real me. Oh, I like to think that both sides are the real you put together.
Well, for roughly two and a half hours a week, this is the real me.
Do you find it difficult not to curse on the show?
No, I mean, I'm fully used to it by now. But I definitely am not as fully freewheeling as I normally am.
Yeah, I guess I should say I don't want to give the impression that I'm like some, you know, Flanders type or whatever. I curse pretty routinely myself in regular life. But I guess I find it kind of comforting just knowing that there's a safe space where I don't say the F word a lot.
You should start another podcast just called Filth, Florn, Filth with Josh Clark.
Okay. That's a pretty good idea.
But none of this has to do with the 1920s, except for the fact that people did not curse on the radio back then either, because there weren't a lot of people on the radio in the 1920s. No, actually, pre... Or early, early, early 1920s, that is.

Chapter 3: How did the Fairness Doctrine affect broadcasting in the 1940s?
Yeah, we have a lot of common ground here. No one's talking about that, and that used to be the role that the media played before.
Yeah, I mean, one thing we can say is without the Fairness Doctrine, we may not have gotten any of these minority viewpoints in the 1940s and 50s and 60s. People might not have been as well-informed except maybe via newspaper about the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Rights Movement. how bad smoking is, about nuclear power plants.
Like all of these things that were sort of in the shadows now had a guaranteed platform. But like we mentioned earlier, because they didn't really, they had to give these opposing viewpoints, he also could have possibly borne the anti-vax movement and the climate denial movement and stuff like that. So it was flawed, to be sure.
Sure. Yeah, from what I understand, like any Democrat to the right of Ralph Nader, which is almost everybody, says, yes, fairness doctrine, what a terrible idea, terrible idea. It was officially repealed in 2011. And if you'll think back, that was under the Obama administration. So the Obama administration's FCC was the one that officially took the fairness doctrine off of the books. Right.
Removed it.
Yeah, but I mean that was a purge. That was just like there's a bunch of rotten food in the fridge and why has no one thrown it out yet?
Yeah, but it was also pretty symbolic. It was a symbolic act whether they intended it or not. But the idea that it was removed by a Democratic lefty president's administration is ā I don't know. It's saying something I think.
Yeah.
Yeah. Here's where we are today, though. There was a poll, a Gallup poll, just last year in 2018 that found Americans don't trust the news. They guessed, let me see, 62% of what they hear is biased, 44% is inaccurate, and 39% is misinformation.
