Pull all cable news licenses. Give them back when they make reforms so that they resemble news again.

If there is someone in the biden admin that would say, "this will backfire on us." Please, take a play from trumps book, no it won't.

I'd hope the hot swap of Kamala taught the democrats one thing. What ever rule book they are playing with, it belongs in the trash.

There is no license. That's why a nakedly bad-faith propaganda network like Fox or RT can call themselves "News" and get away with it for decades at a time.

In the US, only money has a real say. The way to force news networks to shape up is to keep finding them in damages for deliberately misrepresenting the truth. In other words, treat their misinformation as the deliberate fraud that it is, identify how it's hurting our society, put a $ number to that damage, and sue networks like Fox into extinction.

They already had to pay nearly a billion from hurting one company.

Do they even need a license for that?
