Broadcasting False Information

Knowingly broadcasting false information concerning a crime or a catastrophe may violate the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Specifics of the FCC’s Rules The FCC’s rules prohibit holders of broadcast licenses from broadcasting false information concerning a crime or a catastrophe if: the licensee knows the information is false; and

the licensee knows beforehand that broadcasting the information will cause substantial “public harm.” The public harm: (1) must begin immediately and cause direct and actual damage to property or the health or safety of the general public; or (2) divert law enforcement or public health and safety authorities from their duties. Disclaimers If a broadcast licensee uses a disclaimer that clearly characterizes the program as fiction, and the disclaimer is presented in a way that is reasonable under the circumstances, the program will be presumed not to pose foreseeable public harm.

Petition the FCC and report CNN Fake News:

CNN has been “reporting” about Russian Hacking as if it was factual since the President got into office. And the intent of the sensationalizing of the fake Russian Hacking story is to cause substantial harm to the President of the United State, and Republicans in general.
