Encourage television labeled as "News" to be comprised of at least 90% or more fact and 10% or less opinion.

Good day. My name is Logan A. McLaughlin and I grow weary of political bias in news programs, either from the left or the right. When I tune into a program or a station with the label of "News", I expect to receive news on recent events as if, when requesting a cup of tea, getting a cup of tea.

However, in this modern era of 24-hour "news" stations, I have found that many of these "news" stations are ruined with massive political bias, as if (to use the above analogy) I ask a cup of tea and I get a cup of sugar with a few spoonfuls of tea. This is unacceptable and does little else except pit neighbor against neighbor over conjecture, rumor, and propaganda on both sides.

For a more educated American people, I would like all "News"-labeled programs to contain at least 90% fact. Thank you
