I don't think governments and religion really go together that well. Sure, religion is a great tool for them but religion doesn't want competition in their people ruling process (multiple gods) and either does government.

Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted April 23, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted April 23, 2021 All you need to do to see a blatant example is google the Ohio shooting. Practically every headline leaves out the fact that she was attacking someone with a knife, when they do mention it she was "holding or waving" a knife. They all want to be first with a story so badly they don't bother to check on it's validity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plissken Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Tulsi had an idea back in 2019 to restore the fairness doctrine but from my cursory read it would only apply to broadcasters, but exempt cable and internet news just like when the original version ended in 1987. I imagine Limbaugh’s talk radio show launched in 1988 would have been a bit different had it remained in effect. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-116hr4401ih/pdf/BILLS-116hr4401ih.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 I still think that the only fix is education on how the media manipulates people public funded news is 100% no better than private funded news. It’s also complete trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that happens but it doesn't change how the story is done regardless if they have all the information or not. MSM is the enemy of the people.

So the only fix remove the need for their product I take no issue with news itself. But the current fear porn news complex is more destructive than anything else in society right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, MC would be as funny as he tried to revive old "knock knock" and "why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes and Spinner would provide an entertaining narrative shifting and deflection ride but...not much to really to absorb from an intellectual stimulation standpoint.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 23, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'd like to see a legal system more accepting of legal action against media outlets. If people had an easier path to sue for false or misleading stories it might help. Protection of "sources" needs to be reconsidered as well.

To see a legal system "more accepting of legal action against the MSMs" would mean the US government would make itself liable on a lot of levels from Anti-trust laws to Constitutional infringements. This IS NOT going to happen. I see individual actions being a bit more possible.* Protection of sources has been so abused, it's not even remotely what it was intended to be anymore This is where my comment above would play better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
