[QUOTE=Zeke129;44006823]The government should go all the way and just make it a legal requirement to tell the truth to the best of your ability if you want to have the word "news" anywhere near your broadcast[/QUOTE]Problem there being that truth would either be determined by whichever party happened to have a majority; or if the FCC was enforcing it, giving any politicians funded by news companies an excuse to destroy it.
[QUOTE=Scotty.;44006898]I really don't understand American news, it's so different to news channels in the UK. Over here they actually tell you the news, mostly unbiased (on television anyway, papers are a different story), whereas over in America it always seems VERY opinionated. Stuff like Nancy Grace and Fox news.[/QUOTE]
I think having a public broadcaster keeps things in check.
