Two things, though"

1. The Fairness Doctrine only applied to over-the-air radio and TV, right? (Or did it ever apply to cable, etc.)

2. Odd, a newspaper pushing the Fairness Doctrine--it never applied to print media anyway.

Print media loves to lecture radio and TV how to do their gig.

This has been discussed at length. The Democrats considered reviving it, until they discovered it wouldn't solve the problem.

The real fake news is on the internet, and the fairness doctrine wouldn't regulate that.

Not going to happen even with the Fairness Doctrine there will always be fake news on the internet. To me the Fairness Doctrine is a form of censorship which is wrong on so many levels.
