My apologies, you clearly define the conundrum. On one hand, free speech says just about anything goes, but we now have a media ecosystem devoted to a false fascist narrative that has taken over our country and made it a dictatorship. I believe something needs to change, don’t know what.

I did not claim to be an expert, but I was both alive an aware 50 years ago, and they were as described. So, now since you are “omniscient”, do us all a favor, and explain the basis for your view rather than hurling insults!

I forgot to add broadcast channels got reviewed annually to determine whether they were operating for public good. Yeah, very vague, but that was the hook that allowed the FCC to moderate content. I’m sure there are better mechanisms.

It was actually simple, broadcasting was considered a public domain, and in order to get a license, you must agree to terms that included not saying the swear words, and making public service announcements, all long gone now, and how are we better off?

Yeah, because back in the 1980’s when cable took over that authority, actually license to broadcast became moot and then the licensing went away too. You might need to go back a few decades, but it was there, along with some odd hangovers like the “seven words” you can’t say on air.

Yeah, I agree. Media should have an obligation to accurately describe the facts, and “peace plan” is not truthful nor is it an accurate description. It is deception and propaganda!!!

Yeah, everything was broken with the shift to cable and then streaming. Did you notice that the 30 minute nightly news is pretty straight up even on the local Fox channel? That has to comply with FCC guidelines. All the rest falls under other rules (being generous).

Yeah, something is missing in laws and/or the constitution when this obviously false and misleading propaganda is allowed to be broadcast and called news!!!

Definitely the rant of a delusional despot dictator!!! It fills me with rage, and the MAGA morons that either ignore or applaud it fill me with contempt. Happy Fucking Thanksgiving!

Oliver, I hear you, but the language matters. Appeasing a dictator is treason or sedition too. They need to be expelled from Congress, and prosecuted!!! We are way way way past “doing your job”!!!

They have been using that gimmick for years. We still have the most expensive healthcare on earth. For fuck sake, look at the nearly two dozen countries that have better, yes better outcomes, longevity, and experiences, healthcare!!!! Then consider that about half of them do it for 1/3 less!!!!

Yeah, I asked a supposed MAGA friend what FDT was going to do, got a fantasy about cutting defense spending. FDT literally gets people to project their own wishes about government without any basis, crazy!!!

BS!!! No one short of a billionaire can afford to shop healthcare, no one would shop for the cheapest healthcare because they want the best and most effective healthcare, and finally, if shopping worked, we would have the cheapest healthcare, not the most expensive by far!!!!
