    News ought to be a regulated word, if you put it on your show or paper or anything, anywhere, it means you can’t knowingly lie.

    Politicians ought to be held to that same requirement, you aren’t allowed to knowingly lie.

    You want your full first amendment rights (to lie and deceive) back? Stop being a politician or a “news” person.

      You are so right about this. A lot of times knowledge like that is provable. Why the fuck isn’t this a thing?

      Probably only something will happen when those lying are themselves blasted with so much lies that something needs to happen. It would require something like Russians propaganda machine to insinuate each republican politician had gay sex.
