The first amendment definitely needs a re-think. Starting with licensing ‘journalists’, separating them from ‘propagandists’.

Yeah, we need to put more things under government control because the people can be trusted to put the right folks into those government positions that have the control. Brilliant idea there, mate!

I would just go with a fairness doctrine. If you are opinion based, you have to state it in your article or show. If you lie about it, both you and the station are heavily fined. Finally, if you are government, you cannot have a relative in the media and vice versa. When you leave media or government, you cannot move to the other industry for 5 years.
