Considering it is not actual “news”, yes, it should be banned.

We should ban organizations that pretend to be news: Fox News, Rebel Media...

Or force them to drop the "news" word from their branding and descriptions and add "entertainment." But a ban would be better.

Yes! News should be a legally regulated term, just like engineer, lawyer, or physician.

Yes.

Next question: should they ban Facebook? Also yes.

Twitter? Yes, certainly.

I think so long as there are content moderation policies that focus on misinformation, then they're ok. But that's challenging sometimes, and not always practical.
