for inaccuracies just like they fine the banks or any other capitalist industry when they break the rules. We are going to need a new bureau to be the watchdog and I think Rudy Giuliani should be the 1st secretary.

The only way to make them play it down the middle is to get in their pocketbook. These are not for profit companies and they need regulating just like everyone else.

frick no.

People are the check on the media.

We absolutely should not support the creation of a government agency to moderate the media

Everything will end up in the courts anyway.

Journalists should need to be licensed if they are paid. Lose you license lose your paycheck. Just like all the other professions.

And to think communist states were ever unhappy with their state controlled media.

If they didn’t lie about Travon, Mike Brown and Freddy Grey they would not use those rallying cries for an actual crime that was committed against George.

Media inaccuracy, propaganda and manipulation is probably the most significant problem facing all efforts to right the ship.

Whoever would have thought a small government conservative wants to have government control all media?

Well, then delete a couple and insert this program. I'm willing to let it slide. In 3.5 years we haven't had a moment's peace and Donald Trump hasn't been able to complete half his agenda due to nefarious and malicious media activities that already resemble that of a rogue government agency anyway.

And for the First Amendment crowd, the regulations are TBD. I'll be glad to volunteer as first media czar....I'm an evenhanded fella, and know over the line trifling when I see it.
