To prevent false information.

Ervin Guinn

False statements and lies should not be presented as facts from either side of the political spectrum. If it takes government intervention to stop this misinformation, then that's the way it should be.

Can not allow our freedom of speech to be tampered with at all !!!!! All they are doing is damage control protecting themselves

Will Mason

Nothing people are talking about is the government's business. They need to sit and shut up. Maybe they could try listening instead.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson comments that First Amendment “hamstrings" government. What a terrible thing for a Justice to say. She would happily remove our First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

Vernon Taylor

And we all know why she's there.

Lida Vitt

Have you just about ever saw good come out of government getting involved!! The framers gave the government 2 jobs!! Secure our border (failed), maintain our military (failed)! The Federal government had less than 1,000 employees except for the military, prior to the Civil War!! What happened!!

I enjoy watching celebrities and award shows!

Patricia Quiroz-Alfaro

I vote for my favorite actors and awards also give me an idea of what I want to watch. Other than that winners don't matter to me.

Jeanette Johnson

Haven't watched any of them in decades. Who wants to see some very rich celebrities pat each other on the back and tell us all their political views?

VAHuskerFan

Cause there all WOKE!!

Ed Drahos

Award shows are nothing more than self promotion of themselves. And act like self advertising. Like advertising, the less advertising the less popularity.

Garrett

The award shows once mattered. Since they have become so much more than a few once or twice a year but rather at least a 100, all with varying degrees of actual criteria beyond marketing campaigns and now the over-compensating “inclusive,” nature of certain categories going out of their way

Two Men & A Lady

Not in the least.

Anna Chaya Hoffman

Makes zero impact on my life

Jethro Born

The only awards shows that I ever watch are the CMAs in Nashville. The rest, which originate in California, aren't worth the powder to blow them up.

BarbJ

Not interested in celeb political views.

There are better things to do with my time.

Cheryl Gafner

Too polarizing now. 🙄

Tina Bouthillier

I used to at least over a decade or 2 ago but it is so political now, that I really don't care any more

Joyce Koch

To many commercials

Valerie Lantz

Not interested.

Well my uneducated self who is debt free, doesn't live outside my means, retired before 50 will be just fine regardless what happens. No you educated, debt ridden, living off the government's charity..... well you yourself are to blame. Be accountable for your life and actions.

Fred

When the debt finally becomes unsustainable ... which isn't that far off ... the solution historically is to monetize the debt, leading to hyperinflation. Read up on it ... you will not be immune.

Max

For workers it is sound. For those on welfare it could be a problem. Things are about to change.

Zaos Gonzolez

The "dollar" is not real. The economy is the labor the people provide.
