STOP JOURNALISTS FROM PROMOTING PROPAGANDA. Obama updated the Smith-MUNDT ACT during his term. Prior to that the press was not allowed to spew out propaganda to the American people . Obama changed the guidelines so newscasters Can pollute the airwaves and newsprint with propaganda. This must stop. The original Smith- Mundt Bill passed the house in 1947 and was Passed in the Senate in January of 1948 and prevented journalists from presenting propaganda to the American people. We must go back to the basics and stop the lies and propaganda Which is harming and dividing this country.
Reinstate the provisions in the Smith Mundt Modernization Act to restrict all mainstream media outlets from engaging in propaganda To American people on American airwaves or in print. Journalists, hosts on TV & radio shows & newspapers should not be allowed to present propaganda to American people as fact. They should be held criminally responsible if they deviate from this law.
Propaganda must stop.
NOTE: opinion news will not be affected by this law, but opinion news must be clearly stated that this is the opinion of the newscaster or newspaper, and not based on fact.
