“Government oversight of editorial decisions”
Why it was flagged
This overstates the FCC's authority. The FCC does not exercise direct oversight of broadcasters' editorial decisions — editorial discretion is largely protected under the First Amendment. The FCC's authority is limited to licensing, technical regulations, and specific statutory rules (e.g., equal time, indecency standards). Framing this as 'government oversight of editorial decisions' creates a false impression of direct editorial control.

“Heightened enforcement periods**: Increased enforcement of content standards and political balance requirements”
Why it was flagged
The Fairness Doctrine — which imposed political balance requirements on broadcasters — was abolished by the FCC in 1987. Describing 'political balance requirements' as part of current or recent heightened enforcement periods is misleading, as no such regulatory obligation has existed since 1987. The FCC does not currently enforce political balance requirements on broadcasters.
