The democrats should have intervened in broadcast licenses a lkng time ago, simply passing a law that you can’t call yourself a “news” channel if you put forth constant untrue statements. It also would help all around if they required “news” channels to be at least 60% actual reporting of events and no more than 30% commentary. Ie faux and friends and hegseth and company wouldn’t be allowed to just opine meaningless bs all day. When CNN started, and for years after, it was largely headline news, sports news, international news, etc, with a handful of prominent analysts and commentators like wolf blitzer … I like MSNBC myself, but they rarely cover day to day non political events, unless some regular presenter show brings them up, usually as part of a general argument on their position. Like Modi is doing bad things in India- that might be covered when he climbs into bed with Trump, but it’s ignored the rest of the time, as a story of its own. It’s messed up that Americans increasingly look at Al Jazera or English sources like the Guardian, BBC, or Canadian news outlets for world general news and information. All the anger around Trump administration security violations- has there been any reporting on the terrible earthquake that hit Myanmar and Thailand? Almost none.
