Russia!!

Stormy Daniels is 455 times more interesting to American consumers of the MSM than the war in Yemen. You dispute that? You still don't understand how the MSM works even after I've patiently explained it about a half dozen times.

Perhaps we should ban the press or tell them what questions to ask?

Perhaps we should break the monopolies which own the media? Or require that all media be registered as "non profits"? Or is that too "out of the box" for you?

Trump tells us not to believe what we see or what we hear. We should only believe what he tells us. The sadist thing is how many follow along with this shit. I had no idea so many are so stupid or so damaged. The sensible middle will fix this.

Democrats Propose Making It Illegal To Spread False Election Information

Several congressional Democrats plan to introduce legislation Thursday that would make it a federal crime to knowingly and intentionally publish false information about elections.

The legislation would criminalize knowingly spreading wrong information related to the time and place of elections as well as voter qualifications and registration status. The bill would also make it illegal to knowingly claim an endorsement from someone within 60 days of a federal election. Anyone who spread such misinformation would be subject to up to five years in prison and a $100,000 fine.

While dirty tricks such as fliers telling people to vote on the wrong day have a long tradition in American politics, the legislation comes amid increased attention to the spread of misinformation amid Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

YouTube deletes four Alex Jones videos and gives him one strike

YouTube has deleted four videos posted by InfoWars founder Alex Jones, the controversial online personality famous for peddling conspiracy theories, and issued a "strike" against him.

The strike means Jones cannot livestream content for three months. Should he receive a second strike within that timeframe, YouTube will bar him from uploading new content for two weeks. YouTube deletes accounts after a third strike within that time period.

The videos uploaded to The Alex Jones Channel contained hate speech directed toward Muslims, among other groups; one featured the headline, "How to prevent liberalism" and showed an adult shoving a child to the ground. In a blog post, InfoWars said YouTube claimed all four videos had violated its "policy on violent or graphic content."

It used to be that Democrats were all for freedom of speech. Now, they seem to think that "1984" is a manual for thought-control.

Yup.

One of the many crazy reasons why I lean so far to the Right these days.

It's kind of insane how somewhere in the last decade the Democrats more closely resemble the old Neo-Cons than the current Republicans do.

I'm not really surprised about the whole party switch since they're really both two sides of the same coin, but it's amazing to me how hardly any of the people noticed the switch.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
