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.

The law is unconstitutional on its face.
This ridiculously mendacious “Truth and Action” site is precisely why such things are considered. I have seen nothing but overt lies and the most outrageous bombast of ignorant fools on this site since I first was assaulted by it a year ago. You people are the cancer eating at the soul of the nation.
Closer to around 60 than 8
So, they finally banned the mainstream media. It’s about time.
Not a good precedent to have Big Brother decide what’s truth and what’s propaganda….oh yeah…it ISN’T a precedent. It’s been done by dictatorships and despotic regimes….many times in the 20th century (for the protection of the people)…
No. No. No. Who decides what is what. If this is true, the first amendment just died.
of course, but lemmings have short attention spans. They cannot even see that obama has been bad. 😉
This is true. But our government has been a$#%&!@*show since like the late 30s
I guess this election has proven that nonnews if forwarded and commented in long enough becomes fact to those who choose to believe it. We saw what it did to candidates, imagine if your ex posted on a news site that you were a child molester. This gets posted to several no news sites, gets passed around until everyone has read on multiple sites that you are. At this point, will anyone care if it’s true or not? No news sites don’t fact check.
That would be great if it is true, but do they have to follow the law too or is it just for us like every other law that Clinton and Obama broke????
