If people want news stations to be bipartisan again, you bring back the fucking FCC Fairness Doctrine

I actually looked into this recently and unless it wasn't updated, it probably wouldn't have applied to cable or satellite news stations but I'm I'm sure if it was still a thing it would have been updated by now

the US is just going to have a 2nd civil war

Im of the belief that reporting the news is a fundamental principle of a functional society and we should have many systems in place to ensure we protect reporters and the truth, while not providing financial incentive to report said news. how to make that work is difficult but it is really the only proper way and was essentially why the newspaper and the likes were created originally. to allow the common folk to know the truth, and the truth should be a thing we as humans need to value a hell of a lot more and protect it from greed etc

end rant lol

It'll never get that bad, but it's not going to get any better until the people from the 70s finally fucking die off.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

more watchdogs, more whistle blowers, more transparency

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Because if a Civil War actually does break out, it'll never actually end.

 

[CakeWalker]

i mean if this case is anything to go by, its got nothing to do with the age of when people were born

and there is the premise of modern day america - did the civil war ever truly end?

 

[Chris]

Don't think there's enough of a geographical split at this point with big cities in the south having mostly opposite opinions of the real areas

 

[Chris]

Rural areas lol

Yes, it did, pretty effectively. The aftermath was what we're still dealing with. Hell, even in the 1960s, the most turbulent decade in the US, politics were never this bad.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

i think they go to war with china before the civil war

 

[Canadian Dragon]

seems like the next distraction
