  • The fact that they have a “news” channel that just generates what its viewers want to believe in is the major issue for me.

    Also, it angers me no end that in every other news org’s fight to be seen as “fair and balanced”, they tend to run a speech/interview with a conservative talking head and then a speech/interview with a liberal talking head. If what the conservative is saying is largely a fiction, why are they allowed to present it at all??

    Take Trump as the biggest example of this. If interviewers just stopped him the first time he lied and wouldn’t let him go on until he had corrected that lie, people wouldn’t get nearly the amount of random misinformation out of him that they do now. My feeling is whenever someone is being interviewed, that should be the media policy. Just a flat refusal to let you lie on air. Unfortunately in this extremely commercially driven era, they basically want the controversy and the clickbait, so they happily let all the lies go by so they can throw gasoline on the fire and drag in more views.
