And that kind of bureaucracy is destructive to businesses and free enterprise in general. And freedom of speech and of the press are even more fundamental. The Constitution IS the license for these.
So apparently, the truth is not as important and getting yourself tanned, which the operators also need a license and now pay a special tax to do it.
You can go on and on for fine points but simply giving anyone who is in a position of responsibility, no responsibility at all to act as such has paved the way to the bureaucracy you are supposedly denouncing. All because someone claims they are a journalist. If they won’t report it, nothing happens. So now we are fully aware that you are just fine with that.
There just needs to be some sort of oversight for blatant in-the-bag crap going on today. With every right comes a responsibility and it is apparent that without any responsibility that right is abused affecting every one of us.
