Maher: Attempts to Censor ‘Misinformation’ Treat Us Like ‘We’re all Helpless, Dumb’ – Distinguishing Truth and Lies Is ‘Your Job’
Breitbart ^ | 05/07/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/07/2022 5:52:03 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized pushes to deal with social media disinformation for always focusing “on the producers, never the consumers, as if we’re all helpless, dumb blondes ready to believe anything” and said that “sorting out the lies from the truth is your job.”

Maher stated, “Since this is Mother’s Day weekend, let’s pause and take a moment to think about how your mother was always there for you, looking after you, and keeping you safe, and then realize, that’s not Twitter’s job. Keeping you safe and sorting out the lies from the truth is your job. When we talk about misinformation, we always focus on the producers, never the consumers, as if we’re all helpless, dumb blondes ready to believe anything — like Donald Trump.”

About 5% of the time Bill Maher gets it right.That's pretty sad...but it's still better than 99% of today's Rat Party hacks.

How does one sort out the lies from the truth when the truth is censored.

“Keeping you safe and sorting out the lies from the truth is your job.”

Lately Maher has been making some progress toward sanity, though he took a step back with his latest comments on abortion.

“How does one sort out the lies from the truth when the truth is censored.”

That’s his whole point. He doesn’t want a ministry of truth.

I agree with him on it being our job to distinguish between truth and lies.
