Court Rules That The Media - including Alex Jones and Alternative Media - Can Legally Lie Without Penalty of Law (Project Censored)

In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no actionable legislation against misrepresenting or falsifying news reporting in the United States. The FCC can only rely on "policy" recommendations so as not to infringe on First Amendment right of free speech...even if the news is reported as a lie for political reasons.

FCC BARRED BY LAW FROM CENSORING ANY POINT OF VIEW.

The FCC and Freedom of Speech

The FCC is barred by law from trying to prevent the broadcast of any point of view. The Communications Act prohibits the FCC from censoring broadcast material, in most cases, and from making any regulation that would interfere with freedom of speech. Expressions of views that do not involve a “clear and present danger of serious, substantive evil” come under the protection of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press and prevents suppression of these expressions by the FCC. According to an FCC opinion on this subject, “the public interest is best served by permitting free expression of views.” This principle ensures that the most diverse and opposing opinions will be expressed, even though some may be highly offensive.
