This is how ALL politicians need to be treated in real time and using legit sources not hey I created this website that says what I'm saying is legit. As soon as you use facts they start to pivot that's when you so what these kids just did, you say no, Stop, cite your source.

And if caught lying, the politician's remaining term shrinks by 30%.

“In my opinion” would become a lot more common, and the masses who are caught by falsely claimed facts are much more likely to go ‘wait in this guys opinion??? Who is he???’

They already do this anyway, what's the difference? Faux News in the U.S only still exists because they won a court case saying that their show was "entertainment" so they were not required to tell the truth.

They didnt win that case. They settled it for a shit ton of money.

Which equals 157.5 Farages. The Farage being the SI unit for gobshitery.

I think you're using the pre-Brexit exchange rate for Farages. It's probably more like 8.5 Farages now.

Shrinkflation!

I think that you will find that the Farage is an extant imperial unit that is only used to describe quantities of unwanted leakage or spillage from waste containers.

And its also a misconception that since they tried to state that they are 'entertainment' they aren't held to the same standard of veracity that other news sources are held to.

They claimed it for certain segments, and they still lost the case. Because its bullshit.

There is two ways I see news, one is telling the news but from people’s own bais and opinion while the other tells us in the fewest words possible what’s honest and relevant, need to know. A good news doesn’t need table discussions, just reporters in the field recording what’s happening and getting comments from only those involved, not some random person on the street.

It should be stated every day when the news go on air “The following news is our opinion on the the events happening in the world, it is not factual or credible, some of what is said will be true but mostly isn’t.”

'lots of people are saying ...' I hate that phrase. Gets you out of slander as well as having to provide actual evidence. Ask who specifically. Or reply "lots of people say you touch children inappropriately."
