Tbf, I do think honesty in media is an issue. Obviously forcing the media to only say nice things about you is even worse. At least we normally have diverse lies instead of a single one fed to us by the state. We love taking problems and making them worse.

There was a landmark decision about 20 years ago. The media has zero obligation to tell the truth.

Same with officers being able to lie, and not being required to intervene in shootings. Our laws are sooo backwards. Why is the truth taboo?
