Fox I think it was. So we're coming to a reckoning of all this political angling with false stories.

Victims of those RW smear campaigns should sue the crap out of them and remove as much as possible of the thing they worship most ... money.

...in our system.

Although I agree with you many in the country are getting fed up with bullsh*t "news" - we seem to have no recourse except to sue liars.

If I have $250 million and I decide I don't like you, so I decide to repeatedly publicy announce you're a pedophile, all you can do is sue me. You better have money because I can bury you in procedural delays, while continuing to attack you. So what I get fined by the judge? He or she must jail me to stop me and I can bribe them, or their representative to curry favors.

We have no other mechanism to stop slander. With digital now how are you going to stop them without severe penalties that the justice department or state law enforcement can enforce before it's too late?

The system is weak, and rigged. Look at Fox, they lost $787 million judgement and they never stopped lying.

Your point about a reckoning is hopeful to me, because that's what it's going to take where the people become repulsed and refuse to participate, and or shut Fox and "friends" down ourselves. A tall order to say the least.

Should we eliminate the First Amendment? Let the Government decide what "truth" is?

One tiny little policy change in corporate governance would do it.

Wall Street was and should still be the 'tail.' However, the tail has come to 'wag the dog.'

This is due to the legal doctrine of shareholder primacy (and it IS a legal doctrine established in 1919 by the Michigan Supreme Court), which holds shareholder profits above workers, consumers and the environment.

The NY Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch's Fox Corporation, which is publicly traded on NASDAQ, and the Daily Mail is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT), which trades on the London Stock Exchange.

What this means is that the ONLY fiduciary responsibility the CEOs of these publicly traded media outlets have is to generate shareholder PROFITS. That's it. This is why we have all the union busting, corporate malfeasance that hurts consumers and corporate policies that are literally destroying the habitability of the world. Greed rules, and our idol is the bronze bull on Wall Street - that is the 'god' America worships. It's all about greed.

This is why the corporate owned media does so much 'both-siderism' and has been hitting Biden on his age and now the Palestine issue while giving Trump a free pass - at least until he is stuck in criminal court.

The Policy Change that would Matter:
If the US Congress decided to force (because they would have to force) corporations to operate on a stakeholder model which would hold the interests of workers, consumers (INCLUDING TRUTH IN NEWS REPORTING) and the environment EQUAL in importance to shareholder profits, then we would solve a lot of seemingly intractable problems quickly. But we would have to boost funding for consumer and environmental protections, as well as make it much easier for workers to unionize.

Biden has proven a transformational president, and this is a policy (provided we win in November) that the three branches of our federal government should impose.

is all BS. There is a lot of fabricated data on this so called laptop which has been made up of some hacked material from Biden's devices and added material for sensational and in an attempt to make everything shady. When the idiot special counsel Weiss and his minions are so bloody stupid to claim sawdust shavings are cocaine and have their timelines wrong, which will show at the time of some of these entries, Hunter was not even in control of the devices they came from. It is all a complete frame job coming from Barr, Rudy and some Russian operatives. Barr needs to be outed on this and hopefully charged.

Doubt it!

Both of them, Reich-wing scandal rags.
