Quoted from MtnFrost:I guess I see it differently - you are right that no one is stopping the media, well, one channel and a bunch of AM stations anyway, and politicians from making stuff up. But I'd argue we need to push for laws to prevent them from doing that. Rather than go to the wild west, we need laws that get enforced to prevent the misuse of the public airwaves. And I don't have the time to research every item, so I'm happy to have editors and fact-checkers doing that work for me. But heck yes on the billionaire stuff. Ugh.
I'd be curious to know what one channel you are talking about so I can avoid watching it.
