I want laws passed that penalize them harshly for deliberately offering up skewed studies, propaganda and outright lies as credible information and facts that people not familiar with their biases could take as factual.

While I'm at it, I want our media held to the same standards too. Any news outlet found out to be deliberately telling lies, half truths, incomplete truths and propaganda should be severely fined, even made to stop reporting until they clean up their operation, until they are sure that what they are reporting is truthful and factual.

Hell, I want this from my educators and my politicians too! I want laws against lying to the public if you are presenting yourself as an institution whose job it is to keep the public informed.

There are no laws in the UK even approaching what you are proposing.
