I would not allow the tv channels to broadcast 1 hour of tv say starting at 6am with each day going by another 1 hour added not broadcast, just a snowy channel until they tell the truth about everything and why they are lying. They understand money so I figure before the month is out they just might tell the truth. Also no tax write-offs for their major losses.


There is a little problem with that. It is called the First Amendment.

The constitution is not a suicide pact as one Supreme court justice said.

Wiki: Justice Robert H. Jackson in his dissenting opinion in Terminiello v. Chicago, a 1949 free speech case
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Constitution_is_not_a_suicide_pact

In the 1949 case Terminiello v. City of Chicago, the majority opinion by Justice William O. Douglas overturned the disorderly conduct conviction of a priest whose rantings at a rally had incited a riot.

See his and Arthur Goldbergs comments at the link above.

I believe these few people running these handful of companies are inciting a riot. Millions have died with their support of our enemies just from Vietnam onward. Along with weak politicians who fold. Hopefully Donald Trump calling then out with result in them going back under their rocks.

Wiki from above: In July 2016, in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, upon being asked about the possible influx of Syrian refugees and a proposed blanket ban on immigration from Muslim-majority countries, answered; “Our constitution is great, but it doesn’t necessarily give us the right to commit suicide, okay?”
