1. I think it should be a crime.

Just because we have freedom of speech, doesn't mean we have the freedom to slander and lie at will.

2. They will keep it up til someone gets the nerve to sue them and talking

about suing, see where they are suing that Democrat running congress BECAUSE...WAIT FOR THIS.....she is supposed to have edit a part of a broadcast or something like that from fox.

3. At least on channels with the word "News" in them.

The definition is not flexible.

Fairness Doctrine? We don't need no stinking Fairness Doctrine!

DU (and all of America) has overwhelmingly decided that lying is fair game.

Because of that, we will lose everything.
