1) To what television and radio programming should it apply? Political points of view can also be embedded in news AND entertainment programming, as well as in "opinion commentary."
2) What issues require the broadcasting of a "rebuttal?" Which issues are "the subject of controversy" and which are not? What percentage of the public has to disagree with a proposition for the issue to be controversial? Does it include, say, KKK and Communist Party members, as well as just Republicans and Democrats?
3) Who decides? What government agency? How are its members appointed? Do they change with a change of president, or can a new Congress appoint new members? What would the regulations look like to implement this?
4) Is there an "appeals" procedure? How would that work? Would court cases drag on, or would there be an expedited procedure?
I think this is all a bad idea. Those are SOME of the reasons why.
PEOPLE have rights, not opinions. Let the people decide!
