They should be required to be objective and non-sensationalist. They should lose their jobs for trying to make the news, instead of report it.

    Not an easy thing for me to say, since I'm normally against regulations (especially regarding free speach) but isn't it obvious that what's going on here isn't free speach, but profiteering that is detrimental to our political process?
    MSNBC is dousing themselves in fire. Fox news is no longer viewed by most as an objective news source after the years they've spent doing the same thing. Let them do it. Fox and MSNBC are political entertainment channels, if you want news get it from Reuters etc.

    I encourage MSNBC to put people like Al Sharpton on as journalists. It literally forces sensible people to change the channel. BBC is great, but it has no place in the U.S.. Our government should never be in charge of news media. We'll just use yours.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
