The problem is while people get on tv or radio or any other medium and lie, while troublesome is not illegal. It’s when they slander or libel someone or some entity. I’ve worked in the media and knew our liability.

Now your next argument will be they libeled or slandered Trump. Trump, Biden, Obama et al are political public figures. They have less protection than you, I or Ruby Freeman or Dominion. What would stand for us being libeled or slandered would largely stand in court. Not so political public figures.

It's a problem for them, it is not a problem for the people operating a broadcasting system. Else they would be liable for everything other people say.

It would be impossible for a broadcasting system to operate under a system like that.
