This is an EXCELLENT idea, but only if it comes with the requirement that they have to report FACTS, and not innuendo. Having an editorial section is fine, as long as the editorials stay in that section, and it's made clear that they are the writer's personal opinions, and do not reflect the opnions of the paper presenting them. This shouldn't be allowed to be turned into a breeding ground for more stupidity and qanon lies.

"O’Keefe, who choked up and wiped away tears during his remarks in the video, said several times that the nearly 45-minute speech was for staff internally, but it was posted on the Vimeo platform."

Scumbag O’Keefe, aka “Welfare pimp”, owes everything to Andy Breitbart’s cocaine habit & O’Keefe’s obsession w/ his own farts

Rupert says it's not about blue or red, but about green.

Remove the incentives for broadcasting lies and disinformation while sowing social division and hate for profit. Tearing the country apart with lies for a profit and tax breaks while using the public airwaves and publicly controlled cables should not be financially rewarded with a broadcast license and every cable operator should have one. TV like radio is a broadcast media, spoon fed news for simple minds who want their biases confirmed and which are amplified by lies. Many of their mentally unstable viewers often act out based on the lies Foxnews tells them, from mass murders to insurrectionist seeking to overthrow the government and constitution. A major broadcaster cannot be a mouthpiece and propaganda organ for a political party and making government policy like they did with Trump. Nor should their propagandists be able to blackmail the house speaker into providing exclusive security footage from J6.

Remove them from the air and cable, fuck the investors who profited from the destruction of America and fuck their viewers too, none will vote for the democrats anyway, so nothing would be lost if they did it right after the election. They will bitch and moan about anything, good or bad, so remove the tit they've been sucking down bullshit from. Have YouTube ban them too, if you are banned from cable you are banned from YouTube too, they can go to twitter to follow them. A house divided cannot stand and they have been dividing Americans for profit and playing nearly half the country for suckers and fools, step on them hard and squash the cockroaches.

Broadcasters are required to provide a public service, not national self-destruction by spewing bullshit for profit and political power. They exist because of a government license or can be made to and it's time the government pulled the rug out from out under foxnews. Maybe when the voting machine companies win their billion-dollar lawsuits, the government should fine them a billion or two for broadcasting bullshit on top of that and then remove their broadcast license, even for cable, which they need to regulate. Their covid coverage alone should be reason enough to get rid of them as a public menace.

Fox News Chief Rupert Murdoch admitted under oath that some Fox hosts “endorsed” Donald Trump’s election lies, according to new court filings. Murdoch acknowledged in testimony that some of Fox hosts, including Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo specifically pushed the lie. Murdoch’s testimony is part of Dominion Voting’s $1.6 billion defamation suit against the network. NYU Law Professor Melissa Murray and Political Reporter for The Daily Beast Will Sommer join MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

And then lock them up for sedition. Murdoch's intention when he bought the NY Post was to foment sensationalism.
It's bad enough at the level of a tabloid but then they began relying on sensationalising our democracy to sell papers. Then he buys Fox News.
