Create a law that forbids lying on broadcast news
Our democracy is being held hostage by monied interests determined to buy our elections with their influence. We must demand legislation that returns honesty and civility to our airwaves by ending lying and the spreading of propaganda through our news broadcasts. Contact your senator(s) and ask him or her to sponsor legislation that would return the airwaves to provide for civil discourse and honest reporting and eliminate propaganda.
Why is this important?
In the wake of the tsunami of money flooding the markets to influence voters, we must create a law modeled after Canada's successful legislation that forbids licensed broadcasters to allow lies or known misinformation on the airwaves.
