MTG drafting law to force errant media to make robust corrections when wrong

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) discusses her recent look into drafting legislation that would hold the media accountable after they have been proven to be blatantly lying or withholding the truth. The Congresswoman says that once the media has been proven to have lied, the redress should be that ‘the network has to devote just as much time to telling the truth, as they did telling the lie, not just a correction at the bottom of some articles that gets buried and no one ever sees’. Greene clarifies that she is not wanting to ‘take away the’ media’s ‘freedom to tell news or events’, rather to hold them accountable. Saying that the American people ‘want the freedom of press’, but ‘not the freedom to lie’.
