Mainstream media causes more problems, in my opinion.
If the government could regulate CNN and MSNBC and the NYT and other outlets and force them to stop lying and accurately report the news, that would be great, I think that should be a top priority. Once that problem is solved, we could consider other regulations.
Interesting point...
How about looking at it this way... Most main stream media outlets are given certain legal protections as “broadcasters”. Remove those protections and let them deal with slander and libel claims up close and personal.
See if they don’t change their tone.
