I am wondering what peoples thoughts are surrounding the idea that all national news should be considered News and not entertainment, and as such any National News should be illegal to hide behind a paywall, subscription, etc. If you claim you are broadcasting news, then it is vital to the population and should be free.

If you post something inaccurate about news you should be held liable based off the number of views. 1% of the population saw it, that's the percentage of your companies wealth you are fined. 58% of the population saw it, you should be fucked, and never be able to afford the same mistake again.
