(3,727 posts)But too bad there isn't a rule that would allow the government to make them, and all the cable "news" networks, drop the word news from their names. It should be FPOC- Fox Political Opinion Channel, CPO, MSPO.
Also be made to run a spoken disclaimer that the content of these programs are the opinions of the hosts and guests and may or may not be based on facts! People might still not listen or care. Also they should already be smart enough to figure that out on their own, but we are where we are because obviously some are not.
Programs designated news should just report on major events that happen, without editorial comment.
That way they still get to say what they want, but people who would like to stay up on current events, but don't want to listen to the spin have a source for that.
