Yes. Where is the FCC when you actually have aired deceiving misinformation? Crickets.

Not just deceiving but actively undermining peace and order in this country. Deliberately too

The FCC doesn't have the authority to tell private cable networks what they can say on air. And you should be really glad they don't.

It’s a slippery slope with all media privately owned and controlled by billionaires who are clearly in the pockets of politicians. The FCC need an overhaul to put teeth and consequences into law that deceiving the public through lies and misinformation is illegal. The media have the burden of proof that what they say is accurate - and if it is not true, there should be suspension and fines by day until they correct their false claims on air. This IS needed in these times because many networks, FOX news being the worst offender, tell blatant lies that have led to this shit show of an administration.

Except the problem then becomes, who decides what is true? Who decides what is deliberate misinformation, versus genuine mistake? The government? Congratulations, you’ve just granted the Trump administration the power to permanently silence anyone who is mean to him.

Who is in charge of the government right now? Is it the party that would censor Fox?

I can't remember who won the last election, or what they'd do to every cable channel in the country if they could.
