minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up46·edit-29 months agoNews ought to be a regulated word, if you put it on your show or paper or anything, anywhere, it means you can’t knowingly lie. Politicians ought to be held to that same requirement, you aren’t allowed to knowingly lie. You want your full first amendment rights (to lie and deceive) back? Stop being a politician or a “news” person.

minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoOh right I forgot. I remember listening to an entire podcast about this, now that you mention it.
minus-squareFubber Nuckin'@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoWhat was the podcast if you remember?
minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoPretty sure it was this one: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-divided-dial/ Even if it wasn’t, I’m sure it’s a good episode and it is on the same topic. That podcast is great in general.

minus-squareSlopppyEngineer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 months agoProbably only something will happen when those lying are themselves blasted with so much lies that something needs to happen. It would require something like Russians propaganda machine to insinuate each republican politician had gay sex.
