So they want the "Fairness Doctrine" implemented. Your site sucks dude. These are there "goals". They want control. Just another fascist support group.
Our Goals
CeaseSPIN will raise public awareness of legislative opportunities that will lead to improvements in news reporting.
CeaseSPIN will act as an information conduit between it's supporters and government (especially FCC) and lobbyist efforts to affect policy.
CeaseSPIN is petitioning the FCC to implement or align policy to support a public or private News Quality Rating System that makes use of spj.org journalism ethics that will benefit consumers and encourage more ethical journalism.
With citizens' support CeaseSPIN.org will establish itself as the preeminent online portal for communicating actionable information for news media reform.

So if they pass this consumer protection solution that labels news, does that mean that CNN and MSNBC will have to have some sort of rating on their network 24 hours a day telling the public that the reporters are all just commentators and they really have no real background training in politics, etc.? I think I'd be okay with that but it has to be posted on their stations 24 hours a day.
Kanye West should have to have a label on his forehead 24 hours a day too.

I would just like to have something that says that they have to say the truth and not be able to 'stretch' the facts.
It get's exhausting not being able to just take the 'news' at its word (any station). I would like to know that everything being reported is what is actually going on.
I could care less about them being politically castrated. And actually would prefer them to stay biased, but that they have to research their facts and not be able to make it up, and use bad sources.

I don't like that corporations get to hide behind the rights of us americans.
If they want to be called news, I really feel that they should be held to a higher standard. If they want to be individuals then go for it, let them be called entertainment tv or bloggers, or w.e. but as soon as they try to call themselves 'news' they should no longer be able to manufacture stories and only be able to report on actual 100% facts that are checked and rechecked for accuracy.
And they should not hide behind our freedoms of speech to get away with what they do now.
But that is just my beliefs.

I agree. Corporations should not get to hide behind the constitution, as it was written to protect individual rights and not the rights of hugely powerful, wealthy organizations.
I stopped watching TV when that decision was handed down, 6 years with hardly a peep, And if I do turn on the boob tube its for some Discovery or History channel show. I never watch the news since all the networks LIE their asses off. I do get certain shows on DVD and still go to the theater and watch a DVD now and then..still watching season 3 of Dexter DVD.
The media lies, the news people lie, the politicians lie, your boss lies, your wife/husband lies, your kids lie and you lie, you think we would be used to it by now.

*GASP*
Surely this can't be true.
The only explanation is that YOU lie, and everyone else tells the truth.
Or maybe it's the other way around.
Hard to tell anymore.

Um, WHAT name-calling?
Did someone tattoo a dirty word on your cornea? Because nobody called anybody any names.
You quoted me, and I didn't call any names. I wasn't even being serious.
Lighten up.

Ever listen to the radio? The word shit censored becomes "ish". As in "covered in my ish", a lyric from Alice n Chains man in the box.
Back to the subject. I dont give two F's or an ish what paper or channel the news comes from, as long as its the fact, and only the fact. msn, cnn, fox, all crap. BBC is pretty good though. Just my 2 cents.
FOX "new", ... keep going ...
