And Yes it's the same as Yelling "FIRE" in a Theater.

These media companies already get around this by not reporting the entire story. It's the same thing that Bari Weiss complained about with the NY Times.  All you have to do to steer a narrative is to leave key information out of a story. Technically it's not a lie.

As far as charging these outlets for misinformation.  That would take out about 90% of right wing media.

But I agree with you. Start taking out the garbage.

But in reality they get around it be claiming it's an opinion, and that falls under Freedom if Speach. News is no longer straight news, it's feels and opinions to tug at your heart.

This is a good point. Isn't this how Fox news got away with lying to it's audience? By arguing that no 'reasonable viewer' takes Tucker Carlson seriously?

Haha. I get why you would be skeptical.  But if you can prove something I'll believe it. 

We're both kinda pulling numbers out of our asses at this point. I have no idea what percentage of right wing media is dishonest.  I feel like I shot low out of caution.

One thing off the top of my head, they all have repeated ad nauseum  that 'Trump is an existential threat to our democracy'. Every last one of them

You understand why they say that don't you? 

I *almost* agree with you on this one now because at this point, if he does get re-elected, he can't run again.  There shouldn't be anything to worry about. So yea, I think I can give you that one.

Leaving information out isn't altering it.
