Now, I'm sure there are those who will dismiss this story based on its source. However, for those of us concerned with the Rule of Law, we may use it as a valid basis of discussion. Topic: IF a broadcast news organization is caught altering a person's statements in this manner, should the broadcast license of that new organization be subject to suspension or revocation? Personally, I believe that is the only way we can get control of such behavior. The airwaves are limited and a broadcast license is a permit to make money, large sums of money. Thus, the license holder should be held to a high standard of trust inasmuch as the airwaves are public property.

Do they even "broadcast?" Or do they call under "Cable?"
It is not that I disagree with your point, but there may be technical hurdles that don't apply.
Additionally, the "media" has no LEGAL obligation to report truth. They might have an ethical one.... however omission and soundbites can create "lies" as well.

Although most of us receive CNN via cable, I believe they also broadcast. In any event, the FCC is controlling cable broadcasts as well as broadcast over the open airwaves, and their rules pertaining to obscenity and decency are being applied in both venues. Also, the FCC will not intervene in cases of "news distortion" unless it receives complaints with compelling evidence that it is engaged in intentional falsification of news
