Many are useful idiots and nothing more. The true enemy is the media which spread lies and misinformation. They must be dealt with for the sake of the country.
Sounds like bigger government. If enacted the plan would lead to more liberal bias in news.
Remember, while Trump was busy running companies the democrats were continuing to improve their afterlife voter registration numbers. If the fact-check system would not be Federal but instead locally run, again keep in mind local politics tend to lean left (fact checks welcome). If Federal, the concentration of news power would make independent journalism harder.
I would like Fake news to be illegal but I just don’t see a way for fake news to be stopped with legislation.
Perhaps, Civil lawsuits for inciting riots could be filed by city governments against the fake news companies that allowed their Don Lemons say ‘burn it down.’ Or whatever he said.
Not because I trust the media, but because the Founders understood that if you give the government control of media in any aspect, eventually that media becomes captured by the government and you get even worse Fake News than we have now. At least now an alternative media can exist. That can't happen with "journalism licenses".
I would rather have Tort law reform where a few things change:
Make is easier to sue the media for non-factual reporting that isn't Slander. (Perhaps a law regarding willful false reporting? Hard to prove, but devastating if the reporter loses.)
Institute "Loser Pays" reform in lawsuits where the loser has to pay the full cost for the trial. this would cut down on frivolous lawsuits and really hurt the media when the lawsuit is legitimate.
Funding reform in Journalism schools to get rid of the Marxists. Raise a new generation of ACTUAL reporters to replace the shitty ones.
I have a better idea -- break up existing large media and tech companies and stop trying to compete on a global scale against systems that are built around centralization.
if we stayed (with tech) in a suspended state of 30 years ago forever and intentionally kept things old-school small private capitalist, and hobbled the major TV networks and hollywood intentionally, we could split ownership a zillion ways.
this would basically put independent media on a complete even keel economically. the only hard part would be getting people to invest more heavily either in their own tech education (soas to write their own websites again) or in terms or money (pay someone else to do it) as well as driving traffic.
another idea is to disallow advertisers to know what they are advertising on, by law, outside of maybe a few limited restrictions (perhaps by content rating -- id say they can know if its X rated or PG but not any more than that).
this would make it such that a company couldnt pull advertising money from political opponents or even just competing products (see a coke ad over a pepsi video)
you could argue these things limit free speech -- in my view they increase it. way things currently work, if you bump up against a bigger entity than yourself your speech is the one censored, way Id have it censorship would literally be impossible since you'd be buying mystery packages and only basing your continued advertising packages on the results.
if advertisers get to know the content they advertise on, that itself is a big problem that has limited what the news can report on for years, as well as the viability of smaller independent journalists. what If I want to report a story that goes against one of the advertiser's major investments? in such a case, the advertiser should at least be unable to cancel any deals over it and have no control.
A big no to the licensing system because leftists will exploit that to the hilt when they get in power locking up all alternative journalists.
Keep in mind that before his leftist gay robot period, Matt Drudge exposed a bunch of things outside the journo network. Ditto for Andrew Breitbart, James O'Keefe, etc.
The Lin Woods model is the way to go. Sue the fuck out of these assholes and make the parent company pay.
I think the spouse beater is also an alleged rapist: when he was in high school, he drugged a girl, and started to force himself on her but finally stopped when she started puking.
and when is it going to end? shit just seems to get worse and worse. thank goodness I live out in the country away from this madness. keep that commie business in the cities, bring it out into rural areas and we're going to have a problem
typical liberals. they project that they are so tolerant and peaceful when the reality is they are some of the most hateful, racist people on the planet.
Agreed, fellow Christ-follower pede. Most on the left are good willed. The far left are as zealous as any in history or fiction. Zelots can gas innocent women and children and justify it to themselves and each other. Let us not be zealous, except in our following of Christ. I am willing to fight, but it should be the last resort. However, if that time comes - I am filled with a terrible resolve.
The ones doing the gaslighting are evil, the ones being gaslit are just naive/trapped/demoralized/abused. Still hope for many of them. My whole family has slowly been redpilled and pulled away from the lies.

Journalism licensing system like the attorneys bar association.
Stiff penalties for misreporting etc.
Wanna make shit up? Ok, you cant be a reporter anymore.
We could also require that publishers put all mistakes, corrections, and retraction on their home page if online and front page if in print.
Slippery slope when you start mandating government limitations on a first amendment right. Be careful what you wish for.
Well you got to be careful. Who will oversee it? The crazies would right now.

No. I have to disagree with this idea.

I would rather have Tort law reform where a few things change:
The government or deep state is already in charge of the media indirectly, especially when you consider the propaganda act Obama signed.

The problem isn’t the system, but that we have wildly different cultures vying for control of America.
We either need to separate from the Left, or make their perspective illegal.
I got put in Twitter jail for no reason other than taking a conservative position the morning before the presidential debate. What a coincidence.
We need to get flip the House and hold the Senate so we can get some legislation past on libel laws and censorship.
We need enough Trump Republicans to put pressure on the GOPe.
Even the media is a useful idiot. They're a shill with no autonomy, instructed to do the bidding of the DNC.
It's telling that the only three people Kyle shot were a pedophile, a spouse beater and a burglar.
OK, that's one typical Democrat; who were the other two people he shot?
Skate board guy had domestic abuse charges against him. Armless Glock holding medic had several arrests for burglary.
Depends if you're in a blue city.
I think the spouse beater is also an alleged rapist: when he was in high school, he drugged a girl, and started to force himself on her but finally stopped when she started puking.
CNN: So basically your saying the shooting was politically motivated
Oy vey

I try to always remember that they are spiritually sick and to reserve my hate for the forces that made them sicj

They're not good willed.
At all.
Maybe the normielibs are, but any on the far left are unironically influenced by demons or demonic people.
There's a reason the Catholic Church will ex-communicate you if you're a communist, but won't if you're a fascist.
This is why pride, in the selfish sense, is a sin. It's not a "lesser" sin.
