FCC Should Act
“The FCC does have specific standards for hoaxes and false information broadcast over the airwaves. Those standards apply to individual stations that the FCC has licensed, but does not apply to a network.”
—IBT Article on Revoking A Broadcasting License?
As the article points out, it would seem we cannot pull the plug on CNN at the network level… at least not at first glance.
However, any individual stations that air CNN broadcasts are subject to the FCC and therefore, responsible for the fake news people can actually access. In fact, people are perhaps even making personal and business decisions based on the false narrative CNN is now known for in the USA marketplace in the Trump era.
So, is CNN really a problem? Survey says Yes!
