So you want elected officials deciding what’s accurate or not? What government agency should we set up to enforce this? You point England as an example we should follow? What happens to a reporter in England who writes ill warning of the dangers of Islam? Or Homosexuality? They risk fines or jail. No thanks. I want the government out of regulating speech. The press’s abusive biasness and irresponsible reporting has been picked up by the American people and they are shutting them off in droves. CAIR also has stated that free speech doesn’t cover irresponsible speech. Translated means they want to silence speech they don’t like
The arguments you’re making are the same the left uses in arguing for the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine in order to silence opposition
Elected officials. What are you smoking? It would be like any other libel case, a court. If the media wanted they could police it themselves by creating standards for reporting and then there would be no need. You seem to feel that any requirement that facts reported are true leads to censorship. I beg to differ.
For the record, I want the Government out of everything possible. National defense and treaties, they retain the powers delineated in the constitution. That is not an overnight “wave a wand” situation and Trump’s stated objectives will move us in the right direction.
