1) To base "NEWS" segments on unbiased facts
2) To label NON Factual "reporting" as "opinion"
3) To NEVER allow special interests to exert influence over NEWS segments

IF they can not abide by those policies, they must call themselves INFOtainment.
They can play on, but they can not call themselves a NEWS agency if they don't stick to the facts.

Just the "actual news" needs to behave like the 4th Estate again and stop all this nonsense of letting lies spread and putting their need for profit over the survival of Democracy in our country.
