Historically journalists had investigative skills and corroborated their stories, now they write fiction and fake news based on rumor as well as unsubstantiated claims more than actual news. What can you expect from full time activists though other than them to spout their political stances as if they were reality. How can anyone trust anything the main stream media or the government currently publishes? The liberals acting to make it easier to lead sheeple and because they no longer place American citizens right to know and protection from our governments misinformation ahead of our enemies have followed in other tyrannical governments footsteps. Obama and his liberal majority repealed U.S. Propaganda Bans in 2013 (Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987), now the government is not prohibited from Spreading Government-Made News (lies) to Americans.
Making it even better RINOs and the liberals with the US population embracing the holidays and oblivious of most news emerging from the administration, Obama quietly signed into law the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which authorizes $611 billion for the military in 2017, but buried within the NDAA was an egregious bill ‘Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act’.
What we need is to enforce and maybe expand 18 U.S. Code § 1038 - False information and hoaxes to be explicit about lies and false or unsubstantiated fake news!
We must also get the FCC to implement a rule stating a broadcast company shall indicate when their show is not fact based! All reporting In our nation should follow and pass three Socratic tests, is it true, is it good, is it useful? Failure to tell the truth, provide an unbiased report, failure to follow accepted journalistic practices and verify the truth of a report prior to publishing must result in immediate and permanent loss of all their broadcast and business licenses. In addition the entire company assets and bank accounts shall be seized and made available for damages due to slander and libel.
Did you know that most American media companies are owned by a very small group of people?
