Kirtley Discusses Whether "Fair" Political Coverage is Required by Law

Prof. Jane Kirtley was interviewed for Jason DeRusha's "Good Question" segment on WCCO television. The topic was whether broadcasters are required to provide equal coverage to political candidates. "There is no government mandate for equal treatment," Kirtley explained. "We don't have a Fairness Doctrine any more that demands that the news media, as a matter of law, provide equal coverage for each candidate."
