If they want to tackle the “fake news” problem, they should go after CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, Newsweak, Time, etc. Haven’t all these outfits been bombarding us with fake news for the last 1.5 years, and even long before that?
#NeverTrumpers off their meds.
Evil run left wing rino house of idiotism, these people have no right to curtail free speech rights and the fools who passed these bills should be put out of Congress asap. MORONS. AND the pretty boy rino Ryan is behind it, being owned and manipulated by left leaning lobbyists and communist loving monsters.
The White Mosque is a false front for the muzzie broz. Shut it down.
People who think Trump is going to have smooth sailing with Congress because Republicans have majorities in both Houses are delusional at worst and just haven’t been paying attention at best. Republicans are just as much part of the Democrat Opposition as are Democrats.They all have tremendous amounts of corruption gains at stake.
Any discussion of “fake news” by corporate Media or the government should raise more red flags than a May Day parade in Beijing.
“Fake news” is nothing more than an Orwellian attempt to institute state-run Media as the sole source of “information.”
They should start with .gov sites, the largest source and driver of fake news.
The Patriots on this forum need to get busy calling and emailing Senators. It may or may not help, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am e-mailing Marco Rubio later today.

The word quietly in the title speaks volumes.
Note: Republican.
Another swamp monster.
Zero Hedge is in large part Russian propaganda.
I doubt this bill has anything to do with what is presented in this article.
The New and Improved McCarthyism.
How about a bill being passed to stop Obamas Refugee Program from Australia...........like now
Wow. I’m glad Mr. Durden did a ‘quick skim” of the bill and jumped to conclusions. Nothing like reading the index of a book to really get to the meat and potatoes. We have some pretty heavy confirmation bias playing everyone as paranoid fools with this type of reporting.
If you look at the actual meat of Title V in the bill it does nothing but call for appropriations that fund highly paid people to turn over rocks and report on the latest and greatest efforts of the Russian government to influence information in the US. Big deal. I don’t see any authority to take actions, shut down web sites, or levy fines to counter “propoganda”. It’s the government funding programs and delegating those tasks to already existing agencies, nothing more.
Let it be writ large that from now on that everyone in the US take the most extreme view possible regarding all news stories. Everyone is your enemy. Live paranoid, and take everything that conforms to your beliefs as truth, and all other information a lie.
I’ve seen more bad information coming out of Zero Hedge than good where financial recommendations are concerned, and this post is no different. If, over the course of the last two years, I had acted on their projections on the economy and bailed, I would have lost quite a bit of money, because they’ve been flat wrong.
I see zero hedge as a silent version of Glenn Beck. Everything they print conforms to the dark, negative view they have of the world. Yes, there are scary things out their, and if you want to go hide under a rock, fine, but leave me out of it.
The government isn’t coming to take away your half-ass website, Tyler. Next time you might want to read the book, rather than the back cover, before pulling the fire alarm.
I guess that whole 1st amendment thingy is now dead.
Fake news: Washington Post, CNN, NYT, MSNBC, LAT, NBC, ABC,..
They have outted themselves. No need for WikiLeaks anymore.

But it was okay for Mexico to spread propaganda, infiltrate the US with illegal voters, threaten candidates, send Mexican nationals to disrupt campaign events and even commit acts of violence against US citizens participating in political rallies. Our government has no moral compass.
