    I’m an old man and I feel this way as well. My parents are a lost cause

      Full populations of our society are a lost cause. There is a lot of work to do to undo the damage.

        We need to hold media responsible for blatantly and intentionally deceiving viewers.

          News ought to be a regulated word, if you put it on your show or paper or anything, anywhere, it means you can’t knowingly lie.

          Politicians ought to be held to that same requirement, you aren’t allowed to knowingly lie.

          You want your full first amendment rights (to lie and deceive) back? Stop being a politician or a “news” person.

                Leeja Miller does a good video on the subject.

            You are so right about this. A lot of times knowledge like that is provable. Why the fuck isn’t this a thing?

              The people who would implement such a policy would be directly negatively impacted by it.

              Guess what? Just like 50% of all bad things about America, Reagan happened.

              America used to have regulations on the media. Reagan abolished them in his attempt to make the entire world a dogshit corporate dystopian hellscape.

                Oh right I forgot. I remember listening to an entire podcast about this, now that you mention it.

                    Pretty sure it was this one: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-divided-dial/

                    Even if it wasn’t, I’m sure it’s a good episode and it is on the same topic. That podcast is great in general.

              Fraud -the crime of obtaining money or property by deceiving people:

              The business model for Fox “News”.

            Probably only something will happen when those lying are themselves blasted with so much lies that something needs to happen. It would require something like Russians propaganda machine to insinuate each republican politician had gay sex.

              That seems more likely to just be actual news…

          If only. We knew lots of folks that died after refusing Covid vaccination. They’d been told batshit crazy stuff by the media they took to be gospel.

        I’m afraid they are irredeemable. I tried for a couple of years to get them to see the good but they have been that way for a long time. I just smile, love them because they are super old, and vote against them any chance I get
