WaPo Publishes Column Calling on Cable Companies to Shut Down Fox News, Newsmax, OAN: 'Incited Sedit

[SmartVoter22]

90. The word 'news' must be protected.

Print ( newspapers, magazine, etc) & OAB (Over-ther-air free TV broadcasts) are required to validate, with two experts in the topic, before they can make a declarative statement of fact as news.

The courts ruled that cable news is; a paid subscription entertainment service.
This is what news is and isn't.

The FCC should pass an emergency rule, in light of the Jan 6th capitol attack, by forcing all cable news to scroll a constant banner stating, "This is Opinion" when they are not reporting any factual, two-expert sourced and validated information.

I'd like to see "This is Opinion" banners scrolling along, hour after hour, day after day until the right wing learns what is simple English, something that the rest of us understand and can differentiate.
The word news must be protected.
Scrolling banners would turn off millions to the insidious crap from the likes of Lou Dobbs, his prodigy Maria Bartiromo; Sean Hannity, Judge Whats Her Name and every other show on those channels.

It won't infringe on their right to broadcast, but it would bring the cable news closer to what is required, by law, of all print media and over-thee-air (OAB) free broadcast networks.

We need reform of the FCC to allow them to force calrification of 'fact' or 'fiction' for viewers.
