REAGAN...the destroyer of the middle class by keeping mortgage rates above 15% and they've never recovered from it. POTUS was to serve the PEOPLE? Not in Reagans case.
When Tucker Carlson and his show were hauled into court his Fox News lawyers argued that no reasonable person would view what Tucker Carlson says/does as a legitimate news source and that everyone was obviously aware it was entertainment
Trying to pawn it off as something akin to the daily show 😡😤😢🫠
Seems to me if they want to call themselves "entertainment", they're good. If they want to call themselves "news" they should be required to adhere or at least attempt to adhere to telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Murdoch was in the U.S. for over a decade before becoming a citizen. Presidents don’t grant citizenship. The Fairness Doctrine never prevented lies and never applied to print.
The end of the Fairness Doctrine enabled the rise of rabid-right talk radio like Rush Limbaugh, setting us up for where we are today. Indoctrination of much of the country began long ago.
Nope. The Fairness Doctrine never prevented propaganda and did not apply to Limbaugh - it applied to station owners as they were the ones with the broadcast licenses.
And they could meet the requirement by having a 15 minute issue program once a week during low audience hours.
All men die one day, and all have to be judged for their deeds on earth. The devil’s foundry is working overtime on the chains that will soon be needed for new arrivals.
I agree. It defies reason that he is still being worshipped as the gold standard for conservatism. Well, to be fair, conservatism *is* mostly about remaining stuck in the past, so I can see how he might deserve that reputation ...
Republicans playing the long game. Consistently defunding and/or privatizing education. Pushing misinformation. Filling local boards and governments with right-leaning people.
I'll give them credit for playing the long game. Democrats don't seem to have a real solid strategy to fight the long con.
Most of us are treating it like what it is. Unfortunately, a large minority of our fellow citizens drank the KoolAid, fell down the Fox (rabbit) hole, and lost their ability to reason.
The laws need to be changed so main stream media can be held accountable for lying to the public. If it was not for Fox News (which is NOT a news channel) the country would NOT be in the mess it is today. There was a time you could trust what you read and heard, not anymore...
They should be banned from using the word 'News'. It was never news, it never will be. Just right wing propaganda that continues to convince the poorest and least educated that the billionaire's stealing their money are the ones that are defending them.
Don't forget that Faux "News" acknowledged in court that they're not "news," but "entertainment." And paid big bucks--$1.6 billion in one account; $787 million in another--for its false and defamatory claims.
Reagan made a deal with the Iranians to not release the hostages until he became President. That hurt, Carter, it definitely didn’t help the hostages (reminds me of what Trump tried to do with Ukraine in some ways).Then in the Iran Contra scandal he sells arms to the Iranians.
Murdoch and his brand should be considered the domestic enemy in the United States of America. One of his former main anchors engaged in the disinformation and misinformation to millions of its viewers. Reagan allowed a liar disrupt the truth when it came to authentic journalism.
This is what needs changing again. (Amongst other things) We won’t get clear of this nonsense until such a time as those who spread news to the masses are once again held accountable for thier lies.
Fox is an ‘entertainment’ channel that occasionally pays hundreds of millions of dollars for new reporting leads. Heaven will always have dominion over Hell.
Even if it wasn't Reagan, it would have just pushed back the change. Like "Terminator," Judgement day comes at some point regardless of how you change the past.
Fox News is the voice of the regime. Remember when Walter Cronkite reported news? There wasn't such a thing as "fake news" it was just the news. Elon's purchased orange buffoon started the "fake news" idea and sycophantic Fox News runs with it.
And he developed Fox News which Elon Musk’s AI (Grok) has identified as one of the most prolific spreaders of misinformation and lies about Kilmar Abrego Garcia and which comprised 80% of the traffic on X.
The Fairness Doctrine needs to come back, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @reprashida.govpeeps.us I can’t make myself include Schumer lol I just don’t see him as dem anymore.

Propaganda is protected by 1A.
The FD constitutionally could not apply to cable.
And they could meet the requirement by having a 15 minute issue program once a week during low audience hours.
