Should Media Companies be held responsible for their lies?

Medias like Fox News help spread lies, which make the tensions rise higher in USA. Should medias be held responsible for the rise of hate crimes and extremism in USA?


p.s can a mod fix the typo in the title please?

 

FOX, CNN, Huffington, NY Times, CBS, and on and on. Let's be fair one's no better than the other.

Oh, the answer> YES

Won't happen, Americans are so fixated on freedom of speech they'd sooner destroy their own country than admit their glorious Founding Fathers actually fucked up.

 

The problem is mostly that many Americans dont want thr truth, they just want someone to validate their oppinion, their side.

 

I think they should be held accountable. I remember a time when Rachel Maddow went on TV telling everyone that if they get the vax, they will not get C-19. That ended up being a lie and there was no repercussions for that. True journalism has been thrown out the window and it's getting exceedingly hard to try and find one news outlet that does its best to stay in the middle. I try my best to listen to both sides and then come to my own conclusions as rational as possible. Three things that cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth.

 

Getting the vax was a good thing. Anti-vax conspirationists helped the spreading of the virus.
And the medias were saying that getting the vax could make the EFFECTS of the virus being less lethal.

 

Probably why most "news" outlets are leaning towards Op-Eds. I suppose it's a good move on their part to help cover their asses. A valuable lesson to learn is to not take everything at face value or believe everything you read. Media is such a powerful tool and yet a terrible master (And has been said about technology). Regardless, I do believe we are starting to live in the book "1984". Lies become truth and the truth becomes lies.

 

Thank you. Is still thanking of thank you.

 

I think the ultimate question is: Do you believe in media? I believe in a certain context of video. Even more if video comes with audio. But then again, is it doctored? Edited? Presented in a way that would paint a different picture?

I know we all love our pissing contests. But when will enough be enough? The Qanon guy seen strolling through Capitol Hill with the help of police gets 40 months in prison but a guy who fights with ISIS and kills an army medic gets a $10.5 million dollar check, is quite baffling. This is what the news reports. It's not okay if this person does it and it's phobia if you disagree with this scenario.

 

Well, medias in some countries are fine. But in some other countries, they are biased as fuck.

 

In some cases I find WION news to be right down the middle. Not so much since Palki has left that news organization. Once upon a time.... WION is based in India and has fairly decent reporting. It can be conservative at times, but they do a good job at the 5 W's.

 

ADA/AUSA is kinda alien to me. No idea what you're talking about. I do know that TML will win the series against FL since BOS and TB is out. GO LEAFS!

 

I'm sure you are, Mr. Shapiro. And I'm Bat Man.
