Isn’t it interesting that at this point in time we have the benefit of instant communication though the use of the Internet... And the left is taking this opportunity to use this amazing vehicle to disseminate outright lies and propaganda.

Yes, exactly. 20 years ago, the left didn't have that luxury. Today, well, is a completely different story. Social media: Twitter, FB, Instagram, Youtube, etc.. all good when you can use them efficiently & effectively.

But, they can also be misused.

The scary part is they can reach millions across the world, (fake news & images), 'instant gratification' delivered directly to your phone & inbox.

Most don't bother verifying if news is real or not. Most IF can emotionally connect to it will buy it & pass it on. That's why so many stories (political or not) constantly 'go viral'.

Extremely dangerous and wide-open to misuse and abuse.
