I think its another sting operation. Let them hang themselves with election interference and outright treason. I don't think he wants to retract the law so they can half-ass correct themselves.

I think he wants them to destroy themselves so they can be replaced, not just muzzled.

MY THOUGHTS AS WELL.

It is explicitly legal...so how is it s trap?

MAGA_Wolfy 1 point ago +2 / -1

Because election interference is illegal and not protected under Obama's bullshit propaganda bill. Every part of the media is complicit in that. It won't save them.

That's like saying the first amendment gives you freedom of speech. It doesn't in all cases, i.e., defamation, etc.

If the MSM is a paid arm of the DNC, as Q says, they are part of a coup.

Propaganda is legal. Media engage in propaganda. It is legal.

Not when it's part and parcel of a coup. Even if the "media" wants to believe it is.

I felt the same and looked into what changes were made. The changes made to Smith Mundt seem more like a case of Obama and Pelosi sending a message to MSM that:

We're Bending Sacred Comms Rules to show our Promise Not to Enforce the Existing Comms Laws.

Not a legal scholar but came to this conclusion because I can't see where it actually 'made it legal' for MSM to lie in order to fuck with citizens minds.

This is the House Bill that the changes to Smith Mundt were changed in. The changes start on pg.1957.

Law pedes, let me know what I missed.

The goal is not to prevent the guilty grom committing crimes.

It is to punish the criminals.

Yup. This needs to be fixed and Glass-Steagall needs to be reenacted. Bottom 2 of the 3 biggest things on my list. 1st being draining the entire swamp and killing off numerous 3 letter agencies.

Totally agree. I think that act was treason by itself.

Yeah, I have no idea why this hasn't been dealt with yet.

This was a huge discussion from before he was even elected. the fact that it's still alive hurts.

Though if he does pull this off and win, he will have irrefutably proven the compromised media's complicity with actual traitorous crimes.

I guess at this point it's all theater for the sheep - so it's undeniable when the moment comes.

We know what it is, and why it's bad; but the average zombie has no clue, and we all know every rung of government would likely have super majority to reject altering it back to normal (aka not lying to people) - to much money in the fact they can now legally use propaganda to enforced insane order, or push absolute bullshit (Covid, mask mandates, fearmongering) and just get people to comply because "the TV said so"

Let's not leave out the politicians that will testify 1 way under oath, walk out the doors to the press, and lie about what they just said. Or, the politicians that create stories and narratives in official hearings, pass them off as truth, and have no punishment.

Also:
Fairness doctrine allowing equal time to both sides of critical issues.
And Clinton's '96 Telecom Act that lifted the 40-station ownership cap.

Also stop "add ons" to bills. One item per bill.

2
IM_A_TRIVIAL_PURSUIT [S] 2 points ago +2 / -0

I THINK THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THESE ADD-ONS (PORK BARRELLING OR TYING CONTROVERSIAL ADD-ONS TO POISON A BILL) IS TO GIVE THE PEOPLE AUTHORING / PRESENTING THE BILL THE OPTION TO HAVE ADD-ONS TO THEIR BILL OR NOT. THIS RIGHT SHOULD BE ABSOLUTE.

Hmmmm. Would anyone agree to add ons that could be bill kill?

Those are completely separate issues. Smith-Mundt allows media companies like CNN and Fox News to blatantly lie, which they take full advantage of.

230 allows tech platforms not to be held liable for what their users do on their platforms. The only thing is, fb and twitter aren't even protected under section 230, since they clearly act as publishers anyway. So section 230 doesn't need to be repealed, it just needs to be enforced properly.

He's got four whole years to mess with that. Longer!

YUP. HE SHOULD DEFINITELY GET THE MULLIGAN ON HIS FIRST TERM BECAUSE: DEEPSTATE COUP.

Repealing smith Mundt was a double ended sword and may act in our favor. If America is going to get through this the next generations need to be indoctrinated back to being patriots.

NOT WITH THE CURRENT MSM THAT IS 99% OWNED BY THE GLOBALIST DEEPSTATE.

THERE IS NO NEED TO 'PROPAGANDISE' PEOPLE INTO BECOMING PATRIOTS, JUST ENSURE THAT THEY ARE SHOWN THE FACTS ABOUT THE COMMUNIST INFILTRATION AND ATTACK ON FREEDOM IN THE WEST.

ONCE NORMAL PEOPLE ARE GIVEN HARD, UNDENIABLE FACTS, THEY WILL SEE HOW THEY HAVE BEEN USED.

INB4 YURI: GET RID OF ALL COMMUNIST GLOBALIST INDOCTRINATION, IE, MAKE IT ILLEGAL IN EVERY INSTITUTION THAT RECEIVES FEDERAL FUNDING AT PAIN OF SACKING, PROSECUTION, AND LOSS OF ALL ENTITLEMENTS AND BENEFITS ACCRUED. DO THIS BY SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFYING EVERY INSTANCE OF INDOCTRINATION, EG 'CRITICAL RACE THEORY'. TALK ABOUT IT ALL YOU WANT IN YOUR OWN TIME AWAY FROM YOUR INSTITUTION, BUT GET FUCKED IF YOU TRY IT IN THE CLASSROOM.

Media is the biggest source of all the leftist nonsense. Lefties are seriously brainwashed by the legacy media. This has happened in many many countries in the past and in many cases just before a genocide occurs. It is very serious.

They're walking themselves into a firing squad. Those who love money more than their country and the truth need to hang. No exceptions.

A much more simple way to crush them would be to set copyright to zero. Most of these large media companies are nothing more than copyright cartels anyhow.

I had never heard of it till one of you hero’s pointed me to it. I read in disbelief. I sat there with my hands up going, this explains it all. Fuck the cia. Cut funding, reinstall the act, destroy media operating off our tax dollars as an enemy of the country.

This is a really bad idea. Sounds like anointing bureaucrats to decide the truth.

Edit: actually it's possible this doesn't mean what I think it does. I don't trust Wikipedia any more. Any reliable resources on it?
