Masquerading as "news" while blatantly spewing out whatever toxic and dangerous, insurrectionary bullshit you make up day by day to a community - knowing full well it is bullshit - should and MUST have serious, or at the very least expensive, consequences.

@Ganondorf the fairness doctrine was only for broadcast media, the FCC was able to regulate it because it used public bandwidth. It wouldn't have applied here. We'd need different regulation.

That's a good point. I haven't ever watched NewsMax so I'm unclear how it's broadcast, but now that you've brought it up I assume it's streamable and therefore immune from the TFD.
