The lying MSM and our acceptance of it

I find it incredibly disgusting that you cannot read a single headline from the MSM these days that isn't laced with biased attacks on whichever side of the political spectrum the writer doesn't agree with. I can certainly understand a personal blogger being biased in their headlines but, why are we so accepting of these national news companies that continue to print biased stories, filled with false information and "evidence" that turns out to be from a completely different scenario years ago?

There should be laws in place that punish news outlets that continue to publish articles that aren't factual and unbiased. These aren't hometown bloggers that are expressing their personal opinions. These are, supposed to be, news outlets that keep the country informed of what is happening. Instead, they've all turned into gossip rags that just want to get their story out first, regardless of whether it's accurate or not.

For the writer or "journalist" reporting the fake news, they are suspended for a month without pay for their first offense. A 2nd offense, is immediate termination and they are barred from working for any other news outlet for a minimum of 2 years.

For the company that allowed the article to be published. They are fined 1 million dollars for every infraction with that money being donated to organizations in their area that take care of homeless veterans, etc.

We shouldn't be willing to accept their excuses of "oops, we picked the wrong photo" or "our source was mistaken". They should be required to take the time to investigate what really happened and not publish a story until they know the facts. Stop speculating and accepting information from anonymous sources. If you can't vet the source and verify their information, you shouldn't publish it.

I'm sick of the bias and even more pissed off at the fact that people are so accepting of this bullshit. Yes, people make mistakes but if you're going into the business of reporting news to the public, you should be required to act with some sense of morality and truthfulness. Problem is, most of the country is filled with immoral people. I mean, if they are willing to kill full term babies because the mother doesn't want to be inconvenienced, what do we expect? But that's a completely different subject for another blog post.
