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.

We don’t have real journalists anymore and haven’t had for years. They are more in line with activist mouthpieces pushing whatever agenda they’re told to. Very sad state of affairs…. 🙁
We need a libertarian uprising to enforce the freedom to say what we want and have everyone else just LEAVE US ALONE.
And so 1984 continues. I think i need to reread it. Animal farm is playing out as people are beginning to feel they are more equal than others and can force their beliefs on the others. This is occurring on two sides. As this continues, war will result to attempt to prove the superiority of one group over the other.
Is Obama going to sign it or veto it. Cannot become law unless he signs it. Did not read where the house passed it. Did they?
Wow a lie why am i not surprised that this source has lied again?
A bill can become law without the presidential signature, if he refuses to veto it after 7 days, while congress is in session, the bill becomes law. This is known as a pocket veto.
He still is in support just did not sign it. A veto is you are against it. Allowing it to become law weather you sign it or let it sit there and become law you are still allowing it to become law.
A pocket veto is when the president doesn’t agree with the law and doesn’t want his name attached to it, but chose not to veto it for whatever reason, normally because he didn’t expect the veto to stand up. Reference coming up in a sec….
I’m sorry 10 days not 7…

If he does not agree with it then he should veto it. Letting it sit to become law is just a cop out.
