Quoted:
H.R.6393, Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, passed in the House of Representatives on November 30.The legislation deals with a number of intelligence related issues, including Russian propaganda, or what the government calls propaganda. Section 501 calls for the government to counter “measures by Russia to exert covert influence… carried out in coordination with, or at the behest of, political leaders or the security services of the Russian Federation and the role of the Russian Federation has been hidden or not acknowledged publicly." Definitions include media manipulation, covert broadcasting, disinformation and forgeries, and “funding agents of influence." It’s easy to see how this law, if passed by the Senate and signed by the president, could be used against “fake news” websites. On November 24, The Washington Post published an article citing “experts” who claim Russian propaganda helped Donald Trump get elected. “Two teams of independent researchers found that the Russians exploited American-made technology platforms to attack U.S. democracy at a particularly vulnerable moment, as an insurgent candidate harnessed a wide range of grievances to claim the White House. The sophistication of the Russian tactics may complicate efforts by Facebook and Google to crack down on “fake news,” as they have vowed to do after widespread complaints about the problem,” the Post reported. The newspaper cited PropOrNot, an anonymous website that posted a hit list of alternative media websites, including Drudge Report, Zero Hedge, Activist Post, Blacklisted News, and many others. PropOrNot attempts to make the case the websites are either used directly or covertly by the Russians to spread propaganda. At this point it is unknown if the bill will work its way through the Senate and become law and if it will be used to shut down or curtail websites anonymously characterized as useful idiots or willing participants in disseminating supposed Russian propaganda. http://anotherdayintheempire.com/bill-targeting-russian-propaganda-passes-house/ https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/6393 Propornot is a Soros joint. People are fools to give up your 1st Amendment. |

Venezuela: "Our economy is crashing because of American subversion and propaganda. There can't possibly be anything wrong with our policies."
America: "Trump won the election due to Russian subversion and propaganda. There's no way we actually got voted out because of our policies."

Isn't all commentary really just "fake news"?
Commentary is the bulk of what is on a News channel/site these days just to fill air. Look at the recent Taiwan phone call dust-up......Those that don't pay all that much attention would think were were going to war by all the BS commentary. |

This wasn't an issue until 2-3 days after Hilary lost, then it was job one/get it done now/national security.
That said, fake news is a big industry thanks to our idiocracy. 10 years ago, just about any weird news put forth on this site would be questioned and verified. Now, folks will believe and run with anything they want to be true no matter the source. |

This is a desired result of Russia's intensive IW campaign. While it serves well to now target the populist right with a direct message,it furthers the idea that all media is to be untrustworthy. Of course the best lies are formed around kernels of truth and yes,media has overwhelmingly supported administrations such as Obama and Merkel's. However,this has allowed Russia to fill gaps in convincing many that RT,?????? 1,Zerohedge,even zany Sputnik stories are legitimate.

What about;
Harry Reid lied about Mitt Romney’s taxes. He’s still not sorry. The problem with Reid's allegation? It's just not true. We know that, at least in 2011 and 2010, Romney did pay taxes. How do we know that? Because Romney released his tax returns for those years. In 2011, Romney paid $1.9 million in taxes; in 2010, he paid slightly more than $3 million in taxes. Our own Fact Checker gave Reid Four Pinocchios for his "no taxes" claim. PolitiFact gave the claim a "Pants on Fire" rating. Yet Reid (D-Nev.) not only refuses to retract the allegation but also seems to take great pride in it. When pressed by CNN's Dana Bash last year about continuing to defend a statement that is not true, Reid responded, "Romney didn't win, did he?" |

It’s easy to see how this law, if passed by the Senate and signed by the president, could be used against “fake news” websites. No, it isn't. I just read it. There's nothing in section 501 of that bill that would give the Federal government the authority to do anything it doesn't already have the authority to do. Specifically, all it actually does is create a committee. Whoop tee freaking doo. |
