There should be huge penalties for news blogs, papers, stations stating something false misleading or that is fake or a lie. (And the fines should grow exponential with each new error/lie)

So, for example, when someone reports that Trump is racist because he says "illegal immigrants are rapists and murderers" when what he actually said was that most were decent, hard working people but that the illegal population contained rapists and murderers they should be fined?

That's just one example, but it is used SO much in the "Trump is racist" argument.

Just saying.... CpnTripps

"US TV channels have never been credible news sources." Well, I have to disagree with that... but only the absoluteness of it. "Never" is, in my opinion, not correct. During WWII there was censorship of the news coming out of the war zones. This censorship was not initiated by the government but by the networks themselves after they met and decided, correctly, that certain news had a high probability of aiding the enemy in certain ways. The result was a group of individuals from the networks censoring the news content to remove articles they felt had the potential to aid the enemy. Most likely they had government help at that point, but I actually believe that at that point in our history the news organizations were very credible. I do NOT however have the experience or skill set needed to analyze the news since then to determine when the credibility started falling. CpnTripps

They just have you swallow a few magnets. The iron at the core sticks to the magnets and you pass it all back out as a big clump :)

I don't think I'd want to be second in line for the treatment when they reprocessed the stuff, though.

A curious side effect of the treatment is, after walking under high voltage power lines, you can float in a swimming pool and your head always points north.
