The man who survived being shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August testified on Monday that he never tried to kill the heavily-armed teenager. In fact, he said at the teen’s murder trial, he was actually trying to surrender to him.
This also never happened.
Honestly, u/Unknownsailor is more correct than you, because you're making a classic mistake.
You're depending on the government to step in and correct this behavior. Who the fuck do you think pays for this shit? Who do you think gets on the regulatory comittees? Who do you think becomes part of the consulting groups and think tanks? You have some very harsh defamation laws and fairness doctrines in TV in the UK, and look where it's got them. Communists have basically seized the entire media establishment. Not Lefties, not Libtards, fucking Trotskyists!
No, regulations exist to benefit the largest corporations who are the ones calling for it, writing it, and teaching the government how to enforce it on their competition.
Go entirely the other direction. Break all funding mechanisms to the press that aren't private support. Destroy every public program going to the media. Have your preferred political candidates refuse to engage with the corporate media except in a limited manner. Give them no legal protection, but also let them be exposed to every avenue of attack from every possible competitor.
Let these people get no protection in the reverse. If Sean Hannity says that Mark Zucker eats babies and rapes kittens every day, fuck 'em. Let the population learn to be exposed to what shit punditry and fake news looks like by forcing them to actually fucking deal with it. Let the people learn what a media diet looks like by forcing them to sink their teeth into shit until they learn to stop doing that.
Using the courts to try and fix the media is no different than trying to save it with "Fact-Checkers".
The reason why this matters is that the media is a monopoly and internet censorship (by monopoly internet corps) has effectively neutered popular truth-seeking media.
Break the monopolies. And remove "corporate personhood"
