(14,093 posts)Fairness doctrine should have been reinstated, shutting down the 24/7 free ad/disinformation network on talk radio
FOX should have been shunned as a political operation. Instead, Obama tried to play nice and did multiple sit downs with that creep O'Reilly. All this did was legitimize them.
Guys like Alex Jones should have been sued for libel. Public figures or not, Obama and Hillary had more than a case against him with the Pizzagate garbage he pushed.
And finally, liberal media should have been built up as a counter.Air America Played a big part in our 2006 victories. And contrary to popular belief, ratings were fine.it was the con artist investor who doomed the company, launching it from a hole it could never get out of.start a new liberal network on solid footing.
And get some progressive guys with money to do the same for TV. When MSBC had Olbermann, it made a huge difference.
The only left leaning channels outside the networks are kook operations with young Turks guys who push Bust idiocy. Start an actual pragmatic left leaning channel.
And make it at least watchable and entertaining. Far too many things like free speech tv are dry, boring and ratings poison.
