White Privilege and Racist Hate Radio

47. Rather than equal time...

Perhaps something could be instituted to ensure more fact-based information being broadcast -- radio, TV and print.

It's the "opinion" proliferation, versus fact-based journalism, that I feel has led to the cesspool of misinformation that has grown and grown since the late 80's.

There used to be a law at least back in the 70's about "truth in advertising"; it may still be in place but isn't reinforced much when it comes to advertising.

But it seems to me there should be a way to return media to being more fact-based instead of the batshit conspiracy theories that proliferate along with outright lies. I don't know how that would happen given the myriad so-called "news" sources that aren't exactly fact-based, but I'm throwing it out there anyway.

Even diverse opinions aren't going to restrict that, though I agree diverse opinions are better than what exists now.
