Putin's orders: "Make sure your citizens cant believe anything they read or hear from the media"

[Eliot Rosewater]

Access Hollywood, as an example.

The truth is about to come out, whether it is documents, videos, whatever, it will be there in plain sight.

If there is a video of trump or kushner plotting against the United States electoral system, working with our enemy, it will be called fake news, not real.

If there is pictures and testimony of peeing on beds (not that it would matter to a single supporter), it will be called "fake news."

There is a reason for all this, and we are about to see it. Soon.

After our internet is taken from us, or the freedom of it, dont plan on doing much or reading much here at DU. Once Comcast finds out what goes on here, ATT, etc. The problem isnt could that happen, as far fetched as it seems, the problem is that we have to EVEN fucking discuss it!

8. It's disgusting to me how few people understand that, still.

3. Funny you should write and post this

today. Except for the Putin order part, I was ruminating on and concluding almost exactly what you said about the growing acceptance of "fake news" being purposeful. I am increasingly pessimistic about our nation's ability to bridge -- let alone heal -- the gaping divide that is enabling Trumpism. Net neutrality, Koch bros. acquisition of Time Inc. We are quite possibly witnessing the end of free press and free speech in the USA. We've been rolled.

5. Yep, and while we are being attacked, some of us still want to argue about

stuff that dont matter right now.

Election...vote...anybody with a D after their name, period.

Pretty simple.

It is that or lose everything.

Anyone who doubts the rightwingers desire to take everything could take a lesson from those of us who have to deal with them in life. Trust me, yes, they will take everything.

6. Exactly

[lunasun]

7. ++Agreed

[KPN]

10. Yes. I don't argue with that.

Election -- vote D, never R.

11. K&R

12. It's a coup and it took years to accomplish

I'm sure there are/were Russian spies in CIA and FBI for years.

WTF are dem leaders doing? Fuck politics! Our leaders need to have a press conference and sound alarms.
