Time to start licensing print and broadcast “reporters” and then immediately revoking most permits.

Got to reform reform reform the damn FCC and give it teeth.

It's time to stop getting your info from the “news.” Turn them off. There is absolutely no need for them, not in this day and age. Put them out of business.

You don’t really want to give the Feds the power to license journalists, do you?

The only ones they’d ever go after are Matt Drudge, Sharyl Attkisson and the guys at Breitbart.

You`re absolutely right. Any organization that labels themselves as a news outlet should be required to meet certain high standards that will make objective reporting more likely. Conflicts of interest regarding ownership, family ties,
etc. should not be tolerated. If you want to broadcast opinion, that`s fine. But News is a different ballgame and should meet the highest of standards.

Other industries are regulated to protect against this sort of collusion, e.g. stock trading. It`s time for news outlets to be held to the same standard.

“Time to start licensing print and broadcast “reporters”...”

Not in this country you won’t. Go someplace that doesn’t have a 1st Amendment if you want to try that s**t.
