Without looking it up, I can't quote the exact law, but I believe that any "News" show, channel, paper, magazine, broadcast or whatever is required to tell the truth. No lying.

I'd be satisfied with that. Require any "News" to be honest. Leave the other shows to an opinion channel, labelled as such. Just like the editorial pages of a newspaper.

Fox "news" didn't last long in Canada.
