Why aren't there laws against media blatantly lying?

The problem is that overall, MSM/corporate news is largely propaganda. You naming Fox but leaving out MSNBC is merely a personal/political choice.
No it’s not a personal choice. It is a fact that Fox News is opinion. MSNBC is news based. Shep smith would say this about the network while working there.

I thought they followed the Fox formula. Opinion in the early morning, news mid day, opinion at night? I don't have cable though...
MSNBC does the same thing all day. Fox used to have shep smith doing actual news and the idiots at night talking about conspiracy theories and blatant lies.

Rachel Maddow is Opinion. Don Lemon is opinion. All these corporate news channels follow the same script just with slight twists to cater to their viewers. What matters ultimately though is that they all support our foreign policy, are cool with the wars we wage, are anti real progressive politics and ideas.

Show me something with Maddow or lemon reporting on something that is totally false or a complete lie. Maddow and lemon report on stuff that is actual news. Fox News interviewing people that say chit like michelle Obama is a transgender.

:mjlol:

“A reasonable viewer would not actually think OAN is paid Russian propaganda, instead, he or she would follow the facts of the Daily Beast article; that OAN and Sputnik share a reporter and both pay this reporter to write articles,” Bashant wrote. “Anything beyond this is Maddow’s opinion or her exaggeration of the facts.”
Rachel Maddow Wins Dismissal of OAN Defamation Lawsuit - Variety

From the judge when she was sued. It's a real shame y'all take her as news. She exaggerates and gives her opinion.

Yeah you’re not understanding me. I’m saying that all corporate media is full of propaganda that caters to their particular viewership.

Also, I’m sure most ppl here are very much aware that CNN and MSNBC participate in pro corporate, pro military and big pharma friendly journalism that’s easy on the palate of the democratic establishment. Maddow blatantly lying and spewing ridiculous Alex Jones level conspiracies regarding Russia became an actual meme :hhh:


Also, I’m pretty sure I can find ridiculous stuff being said by guests on CNN/MSNBC.
Don’t be fooled, MSM is a joke. Turn it off.

Wait, there's no midday news on MSNBC anymore? Maddow is definitely opinion.

As you can see, I didn't claim that Maddow said "a complete lie", but to be clear you're moving the goalpost from opinion to "complete lie".

Still, why doesn't what she said about OAN qualify as a "complete lie"?

I said complete lie because that is what Fox News does.

i did not see the show where she said what she said about oan. But i would bet she presented some type of evidence or reasoning about the channel when she made that statement. Oan is worse than fox with their bullchit
