The Television Content Rating System needs a new category

In the US, we have parental guidance ratings:

Some thematic elements, according to the FCC, "may call for parental guidance and/or the program may contain one or more of the following" sub-ratings, designated with an alphabetic letter:

D – Suggestive dialogue (rarely used with TV-MA)
L – Coarse language
S – Sexual content
V – Violence
FV – Fantasy violence (exclusive to TV-Y7)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_content_rating_system

We desperately need a rating: Critical Public Health Warning(s): Information regarding health discussed in this broadcast is inaccurate and could result in death.

ETA - needed for radio as well

Dump, Fux, Limbaugh & other wingnut radio and republicans are directly responsible for the situation we're in.

Unlikely anything will be done currently, but maybe PD (post Dump)
