[QUOTE="A2SG, post: 77530482, member: 227164"] I dunno, sounds problematic, to be honest. Will the government be regulating these proclamations? Will the government now define what are "liberal" and what are "conservative" viewpoints? What's the basis for their definitions? What if someone agrees with 60% of the specific delineation of what the government considers the "liberal" agenda, but agrees with 40% of the "conservative" agenda? Will they have to be labeled as "liberal", or will the specific calculation of their stance be specified? Who would be doing the math? If you prefer networks self-report their viewpoints, what happens if, say, Fox News claims they are "Fair and Balanced," will there be a regulatory body that decides if they actually are "fair" or "balanced"? What would the metric be to measure that? Just off the top of my head, I see problems. Got any ideas for how the government will deal with them? Would the FCC be expanded so they'd be the regulatory body, or does congress need to create a new agency? Will there be extra funding to support the extra personnel needed to perform these additional duties? -- A2SG, seems to me there might be objections from those small-government conservatives against this kind of overreach...unless the MAGA component has run them out of town already....
