Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that Congress is "looking into" media literacy initiatives to help "rein in" the press to combat misinformation in the wake of last week’s deadly breach of the U.S. Capitol.
During a lengthy live stream on Instagram on Tuesday night, the leader of the so-called "Squad" discussed the aftermath of the Capitol riot, how she feared for her life during the chaos and what needs to be done going forward.
At one point, Ocasio-Cortez read a question from a viewer who asked if there is discussion in Congress on "truth and reconciliation or media literacy initiatives" to help with healing.
"I can say, there is absolutely a commission being discussed but it seems to be more investigatory, in style rather than truth and reconciliation, so I think that’s an interesting concept for us to explore, and I do think that several members of Congress, in some of my discussions, have brought up media literacy because that is a part of what happened here and we’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation," Ocasio-Cortez said.

Face - Words - Deeds...she has the psychopath’s trifecta.
How did this germ ever get into the body politic.?
Social media banned conservatives and barely a peep. This is only the beginning. Gun industry will be bankrupted due to frivolous lawsuits. Conservative media will be policed and punished for spreading “misinformation”. Who is going to fight for us? Who?? Nobody in congress. They are too busy yucking it up and slapping each other on the back. Election fraud investigation? That will never happen either.
Your comments are very well put. Like a road map for where we’re headed.
I think you are correct.
I watched Atlas Shrugged this evening. Haven’t seen that movie in 10 years. Wow. It could easily be today’s news.
Not sure what to do. I’m a proactive kind of guy.
If I run for office, the problem is, I don’t want to run for office. LOL
I think I’ll treat things like a large long water pipe.........as the leaks pop up, try to stop and plug them.
Great insight. Thank you. Stay safe.
But, they don’t want tech company censorship reined in???
