I'm not talking about controlled or censored. I'm talking about regulations that prevent biased misinformation which is all we have now. Is there a completely unbiased news source on TV anymore?

I'm sure somewhere on the web there is, I have no idea where that is but I bet it exists.

And I believe that cable news should be completely shut down. We don't need all day news. We need an informed public without brain washing.

No government control of the media, AT ALL. This is not Venezuela.

Who would regulate it, the state? Now let's talk about misinformation.

Biased reporting should be have to labeled as opinion not held out as NEWS! It has all gotten very muddled!

They could go another route, require Journalists on TV to have a license like a lawyer or doctor so they can be sued for malpractice, not telling both sides of a story. Not doing their homework ect. Slanting views a certain way for ratings.

What? All rights are subject to reasonable restrictions.

It's the common sense.

Obviously, but there are people out there who literally believe everything they see on the channel of their choice.

People believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions.
