Politicians ought to be held to that same requirement, you aren’t allowed to knowingly lie. You want your full first amendment rights (to lie and deceive) back? Stop being a politician or a “news” person.

minus-squareFubber Nuckin'@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoWhat was the podcast if you remember?
minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoPretty sure it was this one: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-divided-dial/ Even if it wasn’t, I’m sure it’s a good episode and it is on the same topic. That podcast is great in general.
