However when the press starts misrepresenting facts (lying) the government has a responsibility to the people to do something about it. Unfortunately some dumb as corporate owned judge has already ruled that the first amendment protects the right of the press to lie to the public in a case involving Fox news. So much for government for the people.
That's pretty much my opinion. I wouldn't shed a tear if it was shut down for they are crooks and liars. How many times can you get caught purposely lying before something changes? Be biased if you must, but not criminal.
