If they want a news media license, then report facts only. No opinion commentary at all. 100% compliance or they lose their news media license. This should be reviewed yearly. There should be a way to report opinion commentary.

This is a complicated proposal. Far too often “news” reports only part of a story to fit their narrative.
Both left and right leaning news outlets are guilty of not reporting all of the facts or omit the full context of someone’s statements.
If a news outlet blatantly lies about verifiable facts there should civil and/or criminal penalties on both the company and personnel responsible for the falsehoods

Yes. It’s caused too much division amongst everyone. Most people could get along without the media blasting us with lies.

I think that if a show calls itself News it should be held to the facts. Everything else should be labeled as entertainment. We are a free country and tv stars can say what they want, shows should just be labeled correctly. Take the term News back to giving unbiased facts. Newspaper used to have an opinion section for a reason.

I have read that allegedly over 3000 people have committed suicide due to the fear mongering of the mass media and democrat politicians. This needs to happen.
