Who gets to decide the facts?except that you're now back to someone having to determine what "spin" is.":requiring" how a business should be run in accordance with MY standards to me sounds like the left demanding their way is the right way.So, with the exception of the current and former presidents trying to go after the news sources that dare say bad things about them, we have private citizens trying to change things they do not agree with. It does not seem anyone is trying to get the government involved, so it is not socialism.
Let me ask, are your examples above fundamentally different than Conservatives boycotting Target for not saying Merry Christmas or Starbucks because their Christmas cups are not Christmasy enough?
Or Christians boycotting Disney because Disney has a day set aside for gay pride?

“News” agencies should be required to report known FACTS without ANY bias. They should not have the freedom to defame and slander while hiding behind “editorial” values. News agencies have become nothing more than talk shows pushing an agenda. You should support your President in his quest to hold media to a standard.
Christian beliefs and values are and have always been the core, the foundation for what made and makes America the greatest nation on earth. That said; supporting those who seek to compromise Christian values is kin to supporting those who seek to change and compromise American values. Seems fucking stupid...right?
whos going to determine what is and is not news to me? to you? to someone in kansas with a very different lifestyle?
if you don't like what someone is doing, stop watching and support it with LOOK AT THEM type stuff.
This has nothing to do with “my standards”. This is about real news vs. fake news. Any news with spin or bias is and should be considered fake news.
“News” isn’t and shouldn’t be an opinion piece...what’s news to me should be the same news to you.
The fact is; news agencies, in an attempt to grow their viewership have morphed into propaganda machines with an agenda...they’ trying to compete with “shows”, they have lost their way and they should not be provided with the “free press” label.
You didn’t know that companies are required to follow regulatory measures and guidelines set forth by government agencies?
i'm 100% down for the news / media to correct itself. but demanding they follow a certain path? i don't see much of a difference of one side asking for it or the other.
telling exxon they can't dump oil into the river to me isn't the same as telling CBS what the facts of a story are and what they can and can't report.
“Spin” is blurred or embellished facts/truths...this isn’t all that complex.
Truth and facts do not have two sides to them.
Lots of companies and entire industries are required to be 100% truthful under law. The notion that journalists and news agencies should operate 100% truthfully and without bias is that far fetched for you?
