AOC says govt should rein news media : "you can't just spew disinformation '

[BaggerofTea]

Eh

I think a "news organization" should be required to disclose it's sources publicly or it will be label as unsourced/made up news.

That's all you need

“We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation,” she said.

“It’s one thing to have differentiating opinions, but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false, so that’s something that we’re looking into.”

None of what you're quoting is tantamount to what you're claiming, you goofy fukk.

Privacy is integral to being a source you can't just burn thousands of whistleblowers, political aids and military personnel because a WA post article embellishes on what the president likes to eat. Innocent people would be killed and sent to prison.

 

[Gains]

there use to be laws that dealt with this

 

[ryderldb]

I think the bigger issue is all the bullshyt and fake news that gets spread on social media.

 

[DEAD7]

because how could it go wrong?

People are saying, "This will lead to........something horrible!"

But back off that speculation for a moment and ask, what will the status quo lead to? Because the status quo is that 40% of the country will just automatically believe whatever fukking disinformation one set of extremists feeds them, no matter what the truth or evidence is. What is your plan to deal with that? Forget for a moment whatever you don't like about AOC's statement. How are you planning on going forward?

A problematic systemic change should be much more concerning than any social trends IMO
As for a plan or where we’re headed, i think much of what we are seeing(90+%) comes from Trump himself, and will die down once he’s out of office and inevitably in jail.
I’d wait till Trumps gone before determining the new status quo... he’s too much of a lightning rod.
Hopefully Joe and Dems can begin making the case that there was no voter fraud loudly ad nauseam.

"Rein in the media" means what then, Mr./Mrs. Tantamount (gender neutral) ?

Explain what she means for the people?

 

[HARLEM AL]

Fox News been on some bullshyt for years. Now y’all want to do something about it?


Nah son, get outta here

 

[newworldafro]

This is about as stupid as expecting the government to go after white supremacists. They're the biggest white supremacists of all. They lie to start wars (and more) and jail journalists but they're supposed to be the arbiters of truth? fukk this cracker bytch

Peep EU, Congress, and Silicon Valley Caught Political/Ideological Fade, Now Censoring Alt/Indy Media

 

[Secure Da Bag]

That's not going to work because they will say the government is trying to take away our first amendment right.

An axiomatic cultural shift impulsed by a consequent reform of the education system, the building of a plan to make information free and accessible to all, a profound declassification process, and creating and enforcing systems making politicians (firsts among everyone else) accountable for lying in all forms.

This is a deeper societal problem that ruins democracies. Review commissions are a band-aid

 

[Max Power]

AOC will literally say anything and changes positions like the Weather.

She reminds me of a Hollywood actress playing a stupid person's idea of a politician. Since the majority of people are stupid she's doing a great job, just look at this thread.

 

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

The so called "left" pushing for censorship ladies and gentlemen.

You see it too.

“news” like FOX, OAN, News Max should not be allowed to push constant lies and conspiracies and then when sued claim its for “entertainment”.. there needs to be accountability. That’s what she’s saying. Fox News was sued and claimed its just “entertainment” and that’s NOT OK.

You can have that without advocating state controlled media, that’s what Russia and China has
