FOX News is lying, traitorous scum.
As are all the others that intentionally spread propaganda that they know is untrue but serves no purpose but to divide our people and incite violence.
It is too bad they cannot have their license to broadcast suspended.
They are destroying this nation, along with the weak-minded, uneducated riff-raff that supported Donald Trump and that attacked our Capitol.
Evidently, no one at FOX has any shame?

3. Sad thing is that if FOX stopped broadcasting tomorrow, we'd still have
more than our share of white wing rubes now and decades in the future.
I guess we should feel good that their license can’t be pulled.

4. And they have not reported anything about the rape allegations by Tucker Carlson
by a woman who used to work for him. They conveniently ignore what they don't like

6. There are no rules or regulations that apply to "cable" networks?
First Amendment rights, I guess?

7. No shame, apparently.
They're making a LOT of money apparently.
Has it occurred to anyone else that our first amendment could stand to be tightened up?
No broadcasting deliberate lies would be a great start. Allowing those attacked time to defend themselves would be another.

12. I wonder if Goebels would have agreed?
With the sanctity of our First Amendment?

19. It has always puzzled me why so many German people went along with Goebel's propaganda.
Is the American mindset at a similar place compared to the German people in 1931?
Sometimes people exaggerate. And sometimes it is much worse than they ever thought it might be.

16. How about the deliberate lies part?
I fail to see where deliberate misinformation posing as truth from a major "news" network is protected by anything.
Try lying to a cop and see how far the 1st Amendment argument would get.

37. I just flipped over and heard a lie
Douchey said the first vaccine shot is only 30% effective.
:whatever:

Punish media organizations for misinformation? Yeah, I don't think you want to go down that road if you're on the left. People at CNN, MSNBC, etc. would be out of a job, and that's being generous to them.

Ah, the individuals who call others "fascists" want their POV to be declared as truth and all other opinions to be suppressed. It's almost as if LWers don't own a mirror.

You would have to shut down virtually every single "news" outlet in the USA, including about 60% of Fox.

If all speech isn't protected, then no speech really is.
And who gets to decide what speech is "protected"? Certainly not you. And one day, what you think is alright to say today may get you in trouble tomorrow. All because you want only the things you agree with to be "protected".

I think we should start with requiring all political ads be factual. Not the promises they are making, but anything they say about their opponent has to be provable. :whistling:

Like all the evidence in the Russia BS that was never there? How about Hunter's lap top? All the FBI and CIA illegalities during the Russia mess. Proven spying on Trump's campaign, or Biden trying to take credit for the fast rollout and distribution of the vaccines? Trump putting the kids in cages? Or the election fraud that doesn't go away just because you scoff at it. Or how energy independence is somehow a bad thing. The Biden/Harris' engineered border train wreck...
Is that the kind of stuff you're talking about?
