As long as we're handing them out...
Well, if you're handing out fines for fake news, then by all means, let's go on to here, and here, or here for starters.WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission is proposing a $4,000 fine against Comcast Corp. for airing a pitch for a sleep aid without telling viewers that the spot was financed by the maker of the product.
The fine was in response to a complaint by the Center for Media and Democracy, a media watchdog group, which said it marks the first time a company has been sanctioned for airing a "video news release," a type of programming it dubs "fake news."
But there's much more where that came from, isn't there?
