A simple solution would be to outlaw all opinion panels on broadcast television. No one allowed on the news that expresses an opion of any kind. A reporter reports events that took place. The end. A hurricane hit Florida today with winds at these speeds. The end. A politician won the race with this many votes. The end. Two were arrested and are being charged with assault. The end.
Violate this law? Heavy fine. 3 strikes within a year? Organization shut down.
The problem is right now we have those reporters who report what happened, then it’s followed up by 5 talking heads that lie/gaslight the audience into believing what they want them to believe. THAT shit needs to be outlawed.
I like where you’re going with this, I think it could be doable if there was a heavy focus on fact-checking.
I like not giving a platform for opinion on what is supposed to be a platform for news.
That being said I wouldn’t mind hearing opinions from people with qualifications on dedicated platforms for it. I really like the idea of separating that stuff though.
How would one define propaganda to avoid these laws being abused?
