Although it is important that we question everything we read, it is just as important that we do not let the government control what we read.
Thanks to unprecedented advances in technology, people are able to access information at rates and levels that would have been unimaginable even a couple decades ago. We can store information that would have taken entire libraries to fill in times past on devices no bigger than our hands today, and transmit it faster than anyone could have dreamed of. This has made it possible for ordinary people to not just find news, but disseminate it as well.
The downside of this is that since everybody can share news, anybody can, leading to misleading and even outright false stories spreading. Even worse, this gives the busybodies in Washington a pretext to exert their control over alternative media.

Last i checked this hadnnot passed it was read twiceband sent back for re-write. Am i missing something here. The problem is this law would never pass a judicial chalenge and review. Stop scaring people. It is bad enough a law like this was proposed or even discussed, so was getting rid of the electoral college, but I doubt either one would ever come to pass with a republican house and senate.
The end of free speech? Slippery slope.
Government needs to stay out. We don’t need the government telling the press what they can and can’t say. DANGEROUS GROUND HERE PEOPLE
Little late ain’t it, now you want to do it
Now let us see how many brainwashed liberal democrats have what it takes to wake up.
Attack on our 1st Amendment.
This is a pure attack on freedom of speech and can not stand. Of course congress passed this to ensure they keep in next election. But placing the media that is state ran over others is pure marxist. Fight this people.
Yep, Dave Gogul, time to put the book 1984 back on the shelf.
The sad thing is that these douche bags are the creators of false news, they just want to make sure that theirs is all u see
Then that getting passed should automatically impeach the liar and thief!
