I personally thing we need to use the force of law to make the media hire conservatives. Silly me, but I thought discriminating against a creed was illegal.
We’d get into a big morass of how do you legally define a liberal and a conservative.
Donald’s “QUITCHA LYING!” is probably as good as it gets, under classic American ideas.
I don't. After doing my due diligence research, I know that the Founding Fathers' 1st Amendment was explicitly to protect political discourse, no matter how adverse it was to their principles, with exceptions about fire in a theater and other unrelated nonsense . That is why I never agreed with the "Fairness Doctrine" and still don't.
I don't know how to make the MSM more fair, but it's not through coercion or force. That is against everything I stand for as Constitutional advocate. I believe anyone can stand on a box, use a media outlet, peacefully assemble and say things I don't agree with. That said, slander, libel, sedition, and threats to persons are not included. There are criminal statutes and civil litigation for that.
Personally, I hope Trump did dress down those lying, embellishing, omitting, slanting, biased, manipulative prima donnas. It's been a long time coming. Just don't believe it happened as the "two" sources say.
You can use the law, but not to directly force content. Some things we should be pushing:
-Cable freedom: allowing folks to pay only for the channels they want to subscribe to
- Using antitrust laws to break up the media conglomerates.
- Defund PBS.
- Make FCC TV and radio licenses for a limited time and resell them or lottery them off.
- Allow digital posting of legal notices instead of requiring physical publication. Sort of like how they do with tenders.
