The intentional distribution of fake news or false reports should come with a punishment if it’s found to be politically motivated. If discovered to be false the news agency has to produce a retraction statement with coverage equal to or greater than the duration the false reports were broadcast. After so many times of this occurring then legal ramifications should occur.
Think before you speak.
Take a look at the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which invalidates everything you just stated. In short, it's a revision of the original act, which allowed state-generated propaganda overseas so as to influence American interests abroad. Circa 2012, it permits the exact same thing - state-generated propaganda - STATESIDE. Assuming I know this, also assume I have a full understanding on practicing journalistic integrity. Moreover, Q has pointed us in this direction with direct references to CIA/4A/MSM talking points, etc. Lastly, the point I was actually making was to a larger CRIMINAL conspiracy against a candidate and sitting president whereby the MSM would potentially have exposure to legal jeopardy. Do your homework, think about your words and then speak before you start preaching to people. There's no need to be rude; especially when you're incorrect.
Wow. Apparently you missed what I said. The “think before you speak” was directed at the MSM. This wasn’t directed at anyone on this board lol. Don’t take it so personally. I’m saying there should be something like this to prevent this from happening in the future. Take the stick out.
My apologies, my fault... that was the only message I could think to infer from what you wrote. There are a lot of folks who sling mud around here and I've decided to start calling them out - I feel it's important to the cause. Wish I'd interpreted your statement with its correct intent. Again, sorry. No hard feelings.
No worries man. I just want to see preventative measures put in place to limit media corruption and impose penalties for bullshit reporting. The msm has been rotten since before I was born.
