Are you sure about that? That's a pretty outlandish thing to say.
>The media outlets need to be fined to take away the incentive to over report on sensational news
How would sensational news be distinguished from highly engaging/interesting news?
You can already see this issue regarding the hate for clickbait, people will call any content with an enticing title clickbait regardless of the value of the content itself.

I'm positive, see the picture of Alton Sterling posing with guns with his kids, this is black culture in a nutshell (not ALL black culture, but a very real part of it) >How would sensational news be distinguished from highly engaging/interesting news? News shouldn't be interesting, it should be informative and that's it. CNN/FOX/MSNBC have turned into real life action/crime dramas. I'm convinced that five officers might not be dead if these networks had restrictions on what they could report. You could enforce this by only allowing networks to report for one hour per news story, per media day. Anything over that would result in a fine that would eat into advertising revenue. You could also enforce a rule that would fine media outlets for stating the name/showing the picture of mass shooters so you don't glorify them. Media outlets have too much power in this and there needs to be regulations on them just like any other industry in this country.
