La Protección Constitucional de la Propaganda.
Una parte significativa de la discusión se centra en la afirmación de que la propaganda es discurso protegido bajo la Primera Enmienda (1A), citando casos como *Lamont v. Postmaster General* como precedente.
- Propaganda is protected speech. Lamont v postmaster general. And cable providers are not cable channels. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
- Propaganda is fully protected speech. Lamont v postmaster general. And cable providers are not cable channels. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
- It is impossible to prevent “propaganda” in any medium. It’s called “the first amendment”. See: lamont vs. Postmaster. The very limited power the fcc had over 1a protected content affirmed in red lion was only due to the unique characteristics of broadcast.
- Propaganda is protected speech under the first amendment. If you don’t like what djt is doing, then don’t advocate he should get to have a government ministry of truth to control the press. Fascism is bad whether blue or red.
El Papel de la Doctrina de la Equidad (Fairness Doctrine).
Muchos participantes argumentan que la derogación de la Doctrina de la Equidad (FD) por Reagan en los 80s permitió el auge de medios partidistas y la difusión incontrolada de propaganda, especialmente de derecha.
- We need to ban propaganda calling itself news. And bring back the fairness doctrine that reagan and clinton got rid of.
- Blatantly untrue. We had the fairness doctrine for decades and no one screamed that their 1st amendment rights were violated. The fairness doctrine ensured that propaganda and indoctrination were avoided… now we have fox “news”. Reagan dismantled the fd so that people could be manipulated .
- It started with repealing the fairness doctrine in the 80’s due to another reagan policy. Corporate media is paid propaganda.
- Decades of poisonous right ring propaganda,fox, qanon, and now news max . Reagan did away with the fairness doctrine ensuring truth in journalism. Daily hate your fellow americans and antigovernment propaganda with known brainwashing techniques. Playing racism, gun crazy,and religion.
- Legacy media, that was great. Then then fucking reagan came in and fucked it all up with the repeal of the fairness doctrine. The dems need to reinstate this law, no more propaganda bullshit.
Críticas a la Aplicación de la Doctrina y su Alcance.
Los oponentes a la reintroducción de la FD señalan que nunca previno la propaganda, no aplicaba a canales de cable o prensa escrita, y que su naturaleza era muy limitada.
- That policy never prevented propaganda. Propaganda is protected speech. What you want is no first amendment. Sounds like trump. Gross.
- I’m saying propaganda is protected by the first amendment. You have not posted verifiable facts. Everything you have posted has errors, including this piece - starting with the fairness doctrine never required equal time and did not apply to networks.
- Cable channels never had a public interest requirement. Ever. Propaganda is protected speech. You are wrong.
- The fairness doctrine didn't prevent "propaganda". Unless you think a 5am sundays discussion show on your local station and some 5-minute 3rd-party editorials aired at other low-audience times of day prevented "propaganda". It didn't require *shows* to do anything at all.
- The fairness doctrine never prevented propaganda - it actually promoted propaganda by requiring stations to air it. And it never prevented lies nor could it without violating the first amendment. It was constitutional because it was narrow.
Propaganda, Desinformación y el Futuro de la Democracia.
Existe una preocupación generalizada de que la desinformación y la propaganda están erosionando la democracia, llevando a algunos a pedir nuevas regulaciones o incluso enmiendas constitucionales.
- Democracy and propaganda cannot coexist. Political propaganda on cable cannot be allow to exist on american airwaves.
- Propaganda is politically sanctioned lying. That's why all outlets of news are morally responsible to expose it to the public. Who/whatever uses it should be sanctioned and boycotted. It's not about the right to free speech but rather about not tolerating the poisoning the minds of our citizens.
- Isn't freedom of speech too free if influencers can just lazily lie us into fascism without consequences? rightwing propaganda is to the first amendment what ar15-empowered mass-shootings are to the second.
- Strong controls on propaganda would generally violate the 1st amendment, let alone be a terrible idea. Imagine if this administration had the power to squelch what they felt was propaganda? they're already trying: the only reason they're not way worse is the 1st amendment has restrained them.
- I don't think there's been a definitive unpacking of how the u.s. Has been subject to forty-plus years of reaganism propaganda. I think most americans do not realize we are still living under reaganism. It's like the water we swim in - most people can't see it.
