General Discussion

you can revoke their broadcast license and the licenses of anyone claiming to "report" the "news/facts" on an entertainment network.

The courts didn't go far enough and neither did the government in its definition of what constitutes "news" versus entertainment. If I were in Congress, I'd simply introduce a bill to clarify the definition of a "news organization/entity" to be one that adheres to accepted journalistic standards (confirmation from three separate independent sources for a story, for example), one that has reporters with actual press credentials issued to them, and one that has maintained its license and credentials in good standing without too many complaints/investigations.

Furthermore, we can ding the monopolies. These mass media companies, like the plague of capitalist parasites they are, could be broken up. No media company needs to dominate above a certain percentage of the airways in a region, or own a massive market share of any genre of media.

If I were King, however, I'd go farther and start levying fines for errors made without retractions. Hate speech, lies, misinformation that could endanger people, etc. need to be very expensive and a glut of fines/complaints should result in a loss of their license.

The FCC also needs to give free air time to candidates, no matter the race, and ban campaign/political/party/special interest ads. That would help get some of the money out of these massive dark money holes.

If they wish to lie, spew bullshit, and incite hatred, they should not be allowed to call themselves reporters, use words like "news" and shouldn't dare think to use the word, "journalist." We need to make it expensive, counterproductive, and embarrassing for them to continue.
