Barack Obama Wants To “Curate” Your News Feed
Fits News ^ | 14 October 2016

As the corporate-owned, liberal legacy media continues its “all in” offensive to get Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, elected president, the man she would replace in the oval office is going on the offensive against alternative news sources.

“We are going to have to rebuild within this ‘Wild, Wild West’ of information flow some sort of curating function that people agree to,” U.S. president Barack Obama said on Thursday during a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Wait … what?

“Curating function?” That sounds an awful lot like censorship to us …

While Obama claimed he was not embracing censorship, he said “there has to be, I think, some sort of way in which we can sort through information that passes some basic truthiness tests and those that we have to discard, because they just don’t have any basis in anything that’s actually happening in the world.”

Kind of like the MSM today.

I would like O to shut his mouth and go away.

Government censorship by any other name is still... government censorship.

This doesn’t pass the truthiness test. I don’t think we should be talking about it.
