Should OAN be Removed from the Airwaves in Order to Protect Our Democracy?

Something must be done to curb and deter all this lying, most all of which comes from a deplorable indefensible right wing.
Civil liability for broad consequences...something serious must be done.

I think it can be tied to "truth in advertising". Remember when cans had to have nutrition labels on them? When not a Bullshit indicator on each show, since the bullshit varies by host.

Sean, Tucker, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon would have high Bullshit ratings. Others lesser numbers.

How many of their viewers know that? Cable news shows should carry a disclaimer.

Agreed. That's an FCC thing.

Most are Infotainment, not news. Perhaps a "news" rating. Most of those shows are 5 minutes of news and 45 minutes of talking about it with 10 minutes worth of commercials per hour.

And we can already read the sign on the terminal. Never thought I’d be around to see some of this stuff.

The Right Wing is competing with the Left Wing to lead that charge.

Wrong...I'm a registered Republican but smart enough not to vote for a Reality TV Star to run a nation. Only the poorly educated like yourself fell for his lies. A 3 time adulterer, with a kid out of wedlock, 3 baby Momma's, screws Porn Stars and had a Playboy Centerfold for his mistress while his 3rd wife was pregnant with their only child. A man who tells a Porn Star she remind him of his daughter Ivanka. And he calls you a peon..you are out of his league and he wouldn't give you the time of day. Chew on that.

Did he lock up Hillary?
Did Mexico pay for the wall?
Did he Repeal and Replace Obamacare/ACA in the first 30 days?

He's a lying scumbag.

This is an example of his voters...the poorly educated folks in America.

I don't give a fuck what you are and I don't believe for a fucking second you're a registered republican.

I tend to agree on the "registered Republican" thing.

FWIW, I'm always leery of people who swing from hard Left or Right to the opposite. All who do so seem a little "off" to me as do all extremists.

That said, Trump is a fucking moron. Have a nice day.

I know you don't give a fuck which is why you're a cunt. Cunts are useless pieces of shit. That's you. Pieces of shit can't think. That's why you don't give a fuck.

It depends on the show. Sean and Tucker admit they are not "journalists", just commentators. That's the work around IIRC.

Tucker worked for CNN and MSNBC before going over to Fox. Hannity didn't graduate college so of course Fox hired him. LOL

It's infotainment. Admittedly, I'm not an expert on FCC rules governing news broadcasts, but since neither are journalists, I fail to see how such regs apply to them.

Don't be leery...I'm intelligent enough not to vote for a Reality TV Star. Plenty of intelligent registered Republicans did not vote for Trump. In fact his own friend Howard Stern didn't vote for him. Trump can fool only the poorly educated Republicans.

In case you haven’t noticed, the right wing is basically powerless lol.

We going to kick someone off Parler? Democrats own Big Tech [tho some would argue it’s the other way around]. Major businesses are going woke. Democrats own all the major outlets except Fox and Fox is basically lost in the weeds anymore except for Tucker. Fox has become CNN Lite. That’s why OAN has taken off and why democrats are trying to cancel them.

If you ever get tired of picking splinters out of your ass from riding the fence you might figure out which side you ought to come down on with this because it’s becoming more and more obvious every day.

An object lessen for the dumb ones who can't conceive that Biden won fair and square. Tell me, if Romney or Rubio were the candidate, would you have avoided them?

I didn't vote for either Trump or Biden. The Republican party has gone nuts and I've never voted for a Democratic President...and don't plan to start. I'm unhappy with the agendas of both parties albeit for different reasons.
 
Some of the Republicans are OK and some of the Democrats are OK. I'm going to change my voting registration to unaffiliated because I can't take another candidate like Trump. What some of these Trumplican supporters don't seem to understand is that you don't have to vote for the party/person you registered with in the general election, only in a primary does it matter what party you are registered with. Trump has truly destroyed the Republican party.
