On November 30, one week after the Washington Post launched its witch hunt against "Russian propaganda fake news", with 390 votes for, the House quietly passed "H.R. 6393, Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017", sponsored by California Republican Devin Nunes (whose third largest donor in 2016 is Google parent Alphabet, Inc), a bill which deals with a number of intelligence-related issues, including Russian propaganda, or what the government calls propaganda, and hints at a potential crackdown on "offenders."...
...it is easy to see how this law, if passed by the Senate and signed by the president, could be used to target, threaten, or eliminate so-called “fake news” websites, a list which has been used to arbitrarily define any website, or blog, that does not share the mainstream media's proclivity to serve as the Public Relations arm of a given administration.

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?
That would be the logical conclusion, yes. Especially after all the above just claimed that Hillary Clinton was certain to win the 2016 election, the biggest news story of the last several years.
#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.
Right. Truth = Fake News
The ultimate judge of “fake news” is the American public, not some damned bunch of politicians!!!
Perfectly stated! Well done.
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.
probably not much
Kabuki theater from Ryan, McConnell, Graham, McCain...endless sound bites.
Good News...It's not Hillary in the head shed.

So true, but a change in the FBI, CIA and IRS with focus on government corruption may send the proper message to help “enlighten” some of the worst of the lot.
