In all flavors: BS, Bs, bS, bs.
We need a "Truth In Media" device - a very accurate untruth (lie in any form) detector which is connected to some tender part of the talking head's anatomy. Each lie is immediately punished and recorded. Repeats of the same lie have the punishment doubled each time that lie is repeated. Also a special version for politicians of all levels which starts with twice the punishment power of the media version and it triples the punishment on each repeat of a lie. After the first day, some of those folks would be dead, others in an ICU and the rest being very careful of what they said and how they said it. You know, along the lines of Heinlein's "An armed society is a polite society." Wouldn't it be marvelous to see AOC dancing every time she spouted "Green New Deal"?
If you read all of Tom Sherry's "Deep Winter" series, the rebuilt nation had a "Truth In Media" law and recording device - but without the taser.

And that would be a bad thing?

And that would be a bad thing? Those buying politicians wouldn't get much for their money so perhaps bad for them? |
