If you don't trust it, don't consume it. Eventually trust either wins, or you don't care about it very much. The government, fines and aggressive rules won't fix it. Media is a product, not some kind of right.

I would like the ability of pointing out journalistic bias in other media so customers stop listening to them, and this requires source materials to compare to the way the article is written. Our problem is not how we consume media, but how others do; Enabling a sane discussion to highlight that the article misinterpreted the source is part of the discussion. As long as we live in the same voting space, I want entry points to criticize their articles.

Are you saying that water service is a right as opposed to a product? Water being a right != water service.

Thanks for the clarifying question. I’m not saying anything about rights at all - I think that’s a false dichotomy.

My comment is focussed on the rest of the logic.

People who trust the product end up with children with brain damage.

you are correct. if people don't consume bullshit, no one will sell it. easier said than done though.
