If MAGA is going to insist that late-night comedy hosts be 100% factually accurate, then I think the least the next Democratic government should do is require partisan propaganda to be labeled as such.
This goes for both sides. MSNBC, NewsMax, HuffPost, Fox News, all need disclaimers for opinion and partisan content.
This is actually a hilariously amazing idea. Put all the young progressive upper commers on the roster and the old gaurd will probably assume they will crash and burn, when in reality these shit talking heads never are challenged.
Nah, that’s not how it will play out. These people have a very refined way of handling real time debates with things like Gish Gallops, or saying something so brazenly stupid that your opponent doesn’t know how to handle it (O’Reilly’s “the tides come out, you can’t explain that” comes to mind). It takes a very good debater to get around that while still caring that truth is a thing that exists, and it’s usually not worth the effort.

Actually, the left should demand equal time on Mark Levine, Glenn Beck, and all the other right wing talk shows. Tit for tat.

Equal time rebuttals from people like John Oliver, Steven Colbert, and Jon Stewart.
John Oliver would wipe the floor with them. They’d have to cut all his talking to get anything the idiot right will want to see.
Down there with Der Sturmer.
