MEDIA ACCOUNTABILITY
It has become ever saddening & deeply troubling to Our next 33rd Governor; as to the current state of
"THE NEWS"
where there once was a Radiant Beacon of Journalistic
integrity, now airs a crumbling shadow of itself due to the crushing demand(s) of allegiance to Corporate Propaganda & State approved messaging to the people
Thus, violating Their F.C.C. mandate to
"SERVE (the) PUBLIC INTEREST"
So, to aide in his duty bound quest to return
"integrity" & a modicum of "trust" to Our Public Airways, Our future Governor will focus on legislation that addresses the following:
1. Enact a State version of the "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE"
2. Ban any/all advertisements during "NEWS" broadcasts
3. Classify the term "ALLEGEDLY" as NOT NEWS WORTHY
4. Dissolve any/all "Personal Liability" protections of both News Personalities & support staff concerning Libel & Slander legal actions
5. Enact a STATE "Community Standard" with regards to the
term "NEWS"; to include "No Less than 3 verifiable sources
6. Issue fines for "NEWS" broadcasts and/or broadcaster's that engage in "gossip"
7. State Ban on "Direct-to-consumer Pharmaceutical Advertising" via public airwaves
8. Ban on "If It Bleeds-It Leads "policy
9. A community standard act; that mandates a 60/40 metric on the airing of good vs. bad news
10. Formation of a "Child & Wellness" panel to explore
-commerce vs. childhood- as a community standard;
followed by a Ballot Initiative
