The media is never held accountable for lies

Yes, they may get sued for slander/libel, and MAYBE get a fine, but no single person or persons are ever held accountable. No one goes to jail, no one gets arrested.

The media can do a public, widepread version of yelling "fire" in a movie theatre and incite panic, and still face no consequences.

Yep, and those lies can influence US elections far more than our global adversaries would ever dream of being able to influence.

Like a 2.5 year round the clock story that the president conspired with Russia to steal an election?

Are you... telling me that you're in support of limiting freedom of speech and freedom of press?

You're certainly allowed to publish opinion pieces on anything you'd like... Or "investigations" onto anything you like. It means there's plenty of room for speculation, which unfortunately, also leads to plenty of misinformation.

But... It's still freedom of press. Disingenuous or not, it's part of the American constitution.

Have to protect my sources, bro.

Sorry
"The manlet is a savage beast that knows no moral bound. After falling in disgrace to a manmore, a ravaged manlet would not hesitate to come from behind and land a sucker punch/ swing with a rock to the back of a manmore's head. They are ruthless and you need to spend some more time in the gutter to even begin trying to comprehend what goes on in their minds."

Hurt by the aleeboy and need to cope? Go here for hugs: https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showthread.php?t=178724011

It’s much worse than yelling “fire” in a crowded place...they can actively engage in treason with zero repercussions. As mentioned above they spent the better part of two years trying to convince America that our president was acting on behalf of a foreign leader after using said leader to get elected, all while knowing it was a bunch of horsesh!t. They spent years telling our country that he called nazis and white nationalists fine people when he clearly said the opposite. And those are just the two most blatant examples from a countless list. There’s a reason they’re called the enemy of the people.
