We need a Truth in Reporting Law
Any station that is not directly reporting verified facts should have a disclaimer:
“The expressed opinions on this program are not verified.”
Both on the left and on the right. It should be announced before, during and after “news” shows like Hanity, Tucker Carlson and even Rachel Maddow. If something they say CAN be corroborated they should be allowed to make the claim it is corroborated, otherwise it’s opinion. And they should not be able to call their programs “news”.
Americans should demand a standard for what is allowed to be called “News”.
This should apply to internet, cable and radio.
