Explanation:

• Fairness Doctrine: The fairness doctrine was a policy that aimed to ensure a balanced presentation of viewpoints. It required broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues. This was to prevent one - sidedness in media coverage.
• Media Consolidation: Media consolidation is a process where fewer companies own more media outlets. This can lead to a concentration of media power. For example, in the United States, over the years, a few large media conglomerates have come to own a significant portion of television, radio, and print media.
• Politicians and Journalists Relationship: The relationship between politicians and journalists is symbiotic but sometimes adversarial. Politicians need journalists to get their message out to the public (symbiotic aspect). However, journalists also act as watchdogs, investigating and sometimes criticizing politicians (adversarial aspect).

Answer:

• For the first question: Present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues.
• For the second question: Fewer companies owning more media outlets.
• For the third question: Symbiotic but sometimes adversarial.
