Since I know myself as a person, Public Service Announcements and accontability on public media are complelely normal. It's only since the rise of internet media that has been created this attitude that tech companies can't be expected to have any responsibilties.

So, there can't be regulations and public interests because the people opposing these things when they are needed could misuse them? It doesn't seem like the problem is that, but just Republicans being consistently shitty and unhinged both ways. It's not like they need precedent to be terrible anyway, they make and break whatever precedents that might suit them.

Demanding that media cuts off health misinformation during a major health crisis is exactly the sort of thing that a government should do.
