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.

This comes from irresponsible journalism. Years ago it was their job to report the news as it happened. Then, they started calling themselves “newsmakers”. The responsibility for content was lost in finger-pointing . It’s about time journalists and rumor makers were held accountable for their propaganda. It needs and “editorial” or opinion page onto which you can put your opinions, right or wrong, your rants and qualify them as opinion, separating it from hard news, protecting your right to do so, and preventing the spread of rumor. You woul d still likely be held responsible for slander. Libel, and any plagiarism you commit. Rights come with equal weight of responsibility.
Isn’t it a terrible shame, that the Government didn’t step in and SHUT DOWN, those media outlets that were spreading disinformation and outright lies prior to our election primaries and general election!! You wouldn’t have been bothered by more than half of anything that the DNC had their hired goons (paid {bribed} reporters) broadcast!! Can we ask that any reporter who was paid by any political campaign, be arrested for election tampering now?? I personally would love to see NPR (<-- fairly unbiased news source) replaying the video of all of the corrupt media members being hauled off in handcuffs, over and over again!! I would even TiVo that!! Lol
The intelligence officials did not say that. They said the outcome was not effected. Hillary infact has millions of votes more than trump but not electoral votes. The ppl’s choice numbers wise is hillary but that isn’t the game that we play here.
