#1 You know when some punk misuses a constitutionally protect item like a gun, we get loads of proposals for restricting the object. When the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises goes whole Chicken Little how about treating them the same. A SCOTUS opinion already states - you have no right to scream fire in a crowded theater. Just remove any protections for lies, misrepresentations, and libel that any other business is subject to.

#3 What P2P said.

There's a point at which the media Shitshow becomes a Horror Show: when they incite panic by with lies that spread fear uncertainty and doubt.

The media f---ers have passed that point. Their lies are creating real and present danger now.

#4 The penalties for malpractice should be as egregious and draconian for lawyers, journalists and financial executives as they are for physicians. Throw in aircraft and automobile manufacturing executives while we're at it.

#5 Shades of 2004 when the MSM dropped their masks and revealed their roles as willing agents of the Democratic Party. Remember all of those questions shouted at Bush to "Tell us what you did wrong (and give us a soundbite for the DNC ads...)"?
Today it's yelling at Trump to "Tell us ...etc etc etc" reprising the 2004 election cycle.

#6 #1 If they complain, just tell 'em the Constitution is a "living breathing document" crafted by a bunch of dead white slaveowners.

And hey, there was no social media or TV networks or streaming or radio or even a New York Times or Washington Post in 1787.

According to one of their key arguments against gun rights, technological change somehow mitigates against strict adherence to the Bill of Rights, right?

Apply their own rules to them.
