“Providing an open platform for misinformation, for anyone to come say whatever they want, especially when issues of public health and safety are at stake, can be quite dangerous."
Lester is stating in the beginning of his speech, how it has become today. A “state of affairs” review. Since this was not the entire speech, and taken out of context, it’s more difficult to see. However, he reveals his opinion of today’s news by the above quoted “...can become quite dangerous “. Obviously m he doesn’t agree with the one sided lies and misinformation.
Too often these days, shows that run on “news networks” are not news, but entertainment shows based solely on the shows lead commentators OPINIONS, which are not always FACTS. Big difference between OPINIONS, vs FACTS. FACTS are indisputable, and based on proven evidence by a solid source, such as legal or court happenings. It use to be that video of something was fact , but no more. Technology has gotten so good in faking videos by putting people in videos (even dead people) that you can’t rely on videos anymore as fact.
We need the news to go back to FACT base, and not OPINIONS of that network which misleads the viewers,
