“Interview With the Family of a Terrorist.” Realist. January-February 1986.

[Excerpt]

Duffy: Hello, my name is Jim Duffy. I’m President of the Communications Division of the American Broadcasting Company. Welcome to another segment of American Television and You. These programs are brought to you as a public service because we believe that viewers have a right to know the facts about how this medium works.

Tonight we’re going to explore the Fairness Doctrine, a rule established by the Federal Communications Commission to insure that a variety of viewpoints are heard on issues of importance to the public. This rule requires TV stations and networks to provide everyone, even those holding extremely unpopular views, an opportunity to express those views on the air.

To help us better understand this complex concept and how it affects you, we have ABC correspondent Jeff Greenfield standing by live in Lebanon.

Jeff, are you there?

Greenfield: Yes, Jim I’m here. And by the way, I’m not in Lebanon. I’m in Syria.

Duffy: I’m sorry, Jeff. All those Mid-East Countries look the same to me.
