4. This is a serious public issue and faux news is one of the primary sources of this misinformation...

and confusion among their viewers. faux news needs to be held accountable. Of course now they are changing their tune, after the evidence smacked them in the damn face. I'm surprised that they haven't been sued yet (I seem to recall something coming out that someone is suing them, I don't recall). How do they get away w/ it? How does the idiot so called president get away with all of the thousands of lies?

One day, there will be a serious reckoning and the long arm of the law should be used to protect the public good by going against these people, after all, it's almost just as bad as yelling 'fire' in a public venue.

Every enabler should be struck down. Every liar should be struck down. These idiots don't have any regard for the rights of others (nor health) so they should be nailed to the wall, and nailed hard. There are laws on the books regarding public health and safety, etc., surely there are laws that apply here. No blank checks have been granted to the so called president or faux news to break the law having the common sense to not put out false information that could harm others.
