This shit will never get fixed until radical fascist media talking heads get dragged into the streets and beaten to a pulp every time they lie through their goddamn traitor teeth about tEh sAtAnIc bAby kIllIng dEmOnCrAts.

Fuck the goddamn First Amendment; if you cant use it responsibly you LOSE IT. These fuckers need to be crushed like the vile, pedophile cockroaches that they are.

Bring back the fair doctrine act that Ronald Reagan got rid of.

Edit: And make it an amendment.

The 1996 Telecommunications Act is the MUCH more insidious actor.

How so? Can you explain, or should I look it up?

I remember something about that during the Clinton years, but I can't recall what it's about.

It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention. I think it's on YT, but search and ye shall find

Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.

What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?

Pandora's box is already open, I don't think that would work. Another approach would be to remove hate speech from being considered free speech. Targeting violence towards minority groups shouldn't be protected by free speech.
