Justice White also explained that it is the rights of the viewers and listeners that is the most important, not the rights of the broadcasters. The Court did not see how the Fairness Doctrine went against the First Amendments goal of creating an informed public. The Fairness Doctrine required that those who were talked about be given chance to respond to the statements made by broadcasters. The Court believed that this helped create a more informed public. Justice White explained that without this doctrine, station owners would only have people on the air who agreed with their opinions.
