(9 posts)What was liberals suppose to do about the hate media? Even today efforts to reign in the hate media runs afoul of freedom of speech.
I agree something must be done, but how to do it without endangering freedom of speech for all might be tricky. The Fairness Doctrine might be a good first step, but only if it also pertains to shows like FOX.
BTW
I think that liberals saw the hate media's lies but did not understand that there was a dangerous percentage of Americans that will believe the lies, embrace the hate and be brainwashed into the Trumpanzees that we see today. The fact that right-wing churches spewed the same lies and hate from the pulpit did not help matters. I hope that someday the IRS will be allowed to do their job and start taxing churches who are involved in politics.
