Can/should media be held to the same "Hate speech" standards as citizens ?

This thread is about news agencies inciting riots not about advertising honesty. Besides did any network ever air an ad for what ever you're claiming?

willfully ignorant. They enjoy hearing the "media" parrot back to them the view of the world they already have.

I'm sorry but I just don't see this lying you talk about. Sometimes facts change during discovery periods in a story. But lies??? What examples do you have of news agencies telling lies?

My response was in relation to media standards and the law.

It is certainly relevant to this threads topic.

And, yes. I do think they should be held accountable. For hatemongering, rumormongering, fearmongering, and all the other -mongerings.

Yeah, News agencies telling lies. Not networks airing advertising that is a lie but still I've never seen a commercial for Monsanto and bovine growth hormones in any event.

Obama did so much lying that he had to legalize propaganda.

He was only interested in covering his OWN rear.

His "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" lie was actually voted lie of the year.

It wasn't a lie. It was an error. I suppose you never make them. Must be awesome being you.
And what does your post have to do with news agencies and hate speech? Oh unless you meant that as an example. In that case my bad.
