Fox News personality Pete Hegsheth is the newest shill for subprime colleges that target servicemembers and veterans. Should the government hold schools accountable for the billions of tax-payer dollars they receive?

MSG (Anonymous) - I agree in part but then.........where are the regulations against Public Universities issuing totally bullshit degrees and have BS degree programs that absorb public money at 2 to 3 times the rate as for profit colleges? I don't see that the proposed regulation by Congress being uniformly applied across the board. Instead as Mr. Hegseth points out. It looks like an all out idealogical attack on anything that competes with a Public University for government funds.

MSG (Anonymous) - He is not a journalist. Fox news has two main divisions, News and Entertainment. The show that Trump likes to watch with Hegseth on (called Fox and Friends) is an entertainment show. All the shows that plug FOX NATION are entertainment shows not news shows. The entertainment show people get paid better than the journalists do.

MSG (Anonymous) - No actually, MSNBC and CNN do the exact same thing as Fox does. Cuomo is not a Journalist and neither is Don Lemon on CNN. Anderson Cooper is a journalist or was a journalist (not sure of his current status). MSNBC and CNN also have entertainment and news divisions. One reason folks are so divided in this country is they do not know the difference between entertainment and actual news reporting anymore because the line has been blurred so much. I think Congress should fix that and have the network put a tag on the screen like they used to in the old days.

MSG (Anonymous) - Well each has at least one show I think redeems it. Though I think Congress or FCC should bring back the old tags of OPINION and NEWS that used to be required on TV and in the newspapers but are no longer there these days.

Only if the government is consistent. Several points Hegseth makes are correct. Why are for profit colleges held to a higher standard than Public Universities? I agree some for profit colleges are bad but some of them do succeed in training people in vocational areas. Nobody sees this global sweep across the United States to outlaw all for profit colleges as a little suspicious? I do because I see no equivalent effort to examine the results of Public Universities and some of their programs. Seems one sided to me and I believe that is what Mr Hegseth is really attempting to point out here.
