Who is faking the fake news?

Who is faking the fake news?

This week, there is much ado about ‘fake news’. As if on cue (possibly because it was on cue), mainstream media burst forth with stories about how terrible it is that irresponsible, evil people have access to the Internet and talk radio and are free to make up false and slanderous stories about our honorable leaders. It’s time, they say, to crack down on fake news and hate speech which, to them, means to outlaw dissemination of any information that is not approved by the honorable leaders themselves.

The featured stories below make it disgustingly clear that the so-called honorable people are the ones who create fake news and slander their opponents, and they are rapidly accelerating their efforts. It may be that public rejection of political correctness and resistance to media bias that was apparent in the recent election has them running a little scared. It is possible that they feel they have to make their move for the elimination of all opposition real fast before the resistance grows beyond their ability to control it.

If that is the case, it is both good news and bad. Good because it is a sign that the public is finally ready for real change – for a change – and that means we may actually have a chance to restore state power to the common people; bad because we know that power never gives up without a fierce and ruthless struggle. Either way, white water ahead!
