I think it was ignored instead, counting on some sort of imaginary cavalry to come and make it right. The Fairness Doctrine enabled in the 1950's at the advent of home television made it clear what could happen if corporations got a grip of news organizations.

It could be countered somewhat now perhaps, but it is going to take a lot of money and work to do that. The news is no longer impartial and riding the glimmers of hope that it still is, is a waste of time. We need news that is from our point of view, namely facts and debunking the other guy's lies.

Like I said, a lot of money and a lot of work.
