I see them as worthy of going to the chaingangs as much as the politician for being responsible for so much

the press/journalism is supposed to have special protection under the Constitution, but it can be easily argued that they largely have become propagandists rather than journalists

at minimum they should be 'Trust Busted' and broken up to destroy their monopoly status and undue influence (old days there were hundreds of newspapers in large cities with a broad spectrum of interests, but today it is just a few narrowly controlled voices nationally being heard thru a more invasive megaphone.)

The mainstream media such as CNN and MSNBC and who are the others New York Times etc etc.. could be eliminated in a 24-hour period. The only people that would complain about it would be a small handful of trannies

Irrelevant. If anyone had enough power to actually destroy the American media the American media would suck their dick. The only reason the New York Times isn't 1488 is that Hitler lost.

Easier solution. There are two types of news currently. Journalism, and Opinion Journalism. Currently the BULK of the news channels are Opinion Journalism, giving highly skewed "news" reports while being able to put any non-objective spin on it.

What they need to do is two fold.

1. FORECFULLY separate the two with the news not being allowed any spin at all, by law.

2. Opinion news/news commentary should be forced to it's own channel and that is all it is allowed to do.

3. Actual news should only be able to play 3 times a day like it used to in 30-45 minute block.

This would solve probably 75% of the issues with fake news and skewed news, and anyone that wishes to hear some fake blowhard moron read an agenda is welcome to it on their own channel where they are not allowed to read "news" at all, just comment on it with their BS that is protected by the 1st amendment.
