   Imagine a world where US politicians hadn't let Fox "News" lie to the public, day in and day out, for the last 30 years.

     @wjmaggos @jonchevreau.bsky.social There are laws and standards for news reporting. News outlets do in fact not have the right to spread disinformation.

     They're just terrible in the US, and Fox News gets around them by claiming that they're entertainment rather than news. (Which isn't something their viewer base would be aware of.)

     you have to let media outlets say what they want, but what we can change is the media structure that defaults to giving them so much attention and money. broadcast and cable TV replaced with #owncast and #peertube.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.
