    A lot of words have been written about "fake news." We republicans have long complained over several major matters.
    1. Democrats trying to create news that is false.
    2. Government doing the same thing.

    Now we have online sites that get shut down.

    This sends more chills down my spine. The very idea youtube or Facebook can remove what you can read, is chilling.

    For some education on this matter, this video is yours to learn from.

    My response is that most people are too lazy to give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about this. If they were the least bit concerned Facebook would have gone under.

    This is where I'm divergent from my generation. Outside of forums like this where I enjoy anonymity I don't participate in social media at all. Placing vast amounts of private information in public seemed stupid to me and that is what Facebook is. They also have a preference that if you are on your phone using Facebook it tells anybody viewing your info where you currently are.

    I get a "brave new world" vibe from the whole thing. I'm not familiar with Twitter, instagram, and so forth.

    The thing that worries me is net neutrality. It has reared it's ugly head again and it's all about censorship. And nobody even knows what that even means. It isn't because of lack of information, i looked it up and learned about it. Most people are just to lazy.

    Apathy is going to be our doom.

    Social media is the battle ground.

    Whether you're talking an IMdb forum, the comment sections of the universe, youtube anti-PC celebs like Milo and Ben Shapiro, they are going to have to regulate for more than Facebook.

    The internet fuels Red Pill/MGTOW movement against feminism, people see recommendations for Bill Burr or Tom Leykis...

    Left is everything female in thinking, so every aspect of male society is pushing back in arch nemesis form.

    It all ties together, and is the heart of this new wave push. And all of them feel like listening to Socrates for young men, compared to what men have had shoved down their throats via every other aspect of globalist America.

    And honestly, Facebook is already censored. In the democratic primaries, Sanders supporters outnumbered HRC supporters 2 to 1 on Robert Reichs Facebook page. But because his posts are shared by people, anyone can be commenting. Well whenever he would post about the TPP, the comment section would blow up. I mean 100 to 1. It was brutal, and after an hour or 2 suddenly they would just be deleted.

    Imagine everyone having to go back to getting their news from all the MSM propaganda sources. While we had to hear about the fact it is the real news daily, when we all know it is the fake news.

    Info-wars commenting on "fake news." Delicious irony.

    There literally were fake news stories totally made up by some foreigner with no bearing in reality... not biased, totally actually fake. The mainstream media isn't fake, it's just slanted in terms of what they emphasize. This goes for both Fox and MSNBC. I don't think things should be censored, but they should get some kind of "unverified" label if the information isn't corroborated. People want to see fake news for entertainment, but it shouldn't be presented as if it were real.

    I guess FOX ought to remove all Democrats from their shows so they can be biased for republicans.

    Wait, they have many Democrats.

    Info wars is not fake. She has challenged anybody to give her any fake story told by Info Wars. They are a low grade source of information, meaning very few topic covered.

    When I watch PBS rip Donald Trump, always give a free pass to Obama, guess who PBS supports. They worked hard to elect Hillary Clinton.

    Cspan gives you facts but they give them for both sides. That is what FOX does as well. Do not confuse talk shows as plain news. Watch Rachel Maddow and guess who she favors.

    Give us all examples of their fake news?

    Remember them at the Trump campaigns and Hillary? What was fake when they called that Hillary drew tiny crowds? She lost. I think Info wars was giving us a tip off.

    As a youth, I delivered newspapers. Back then, some boys did things like that. Then the news was news. Today what we get is the preference of whom runs the network talking. Take PBS for instance, they hate Trump. Clear as the day is, they hate him. They still run him down and say nary one bad thing about Obama. The bias on PBS is so thick you can use if for mayonnaise.

    Fox News is a republican news source. Rachel Maddow is a liberal commentator. Being a republican news source does not mean democrats aren't allowed to be on it. Even MSNBC has Morning Joe. I wasn't really commenting on Info Wars. I was commenting on the existence of fake news and how it should be handled, and indeed how all information should be handled so that people take isolated reports with a grain of salt, whether that be from Fox, MSNBC, or some random teenager in eastern Europe.
