Especially the media channels - from Fox downwards.

Make lying to the public a criminal offence. Without lies these channels are nothing.

Who decides what is a lie and what is the truth? Does the intention to lie matter or is an accidental lie (e.g. a quoting mistake) an offence as well? Is telling incomplete truths or ignoring important or relevant facts lying? Is representing information in a factually correct but misleading or easy to misinterpret way lying?

Lies are a strong political tool, for both ultimate good or ill.
