Because they like it too is a simple and honest answer.. They liked the 230 protection for the big tech social media and fought President Trump over that.. These POS politicians exist for one purpose, to protect the 1% racket of crime..
I remember when that happened then got memory holed. I'm glad you brought this up because it makes a lot of contextual sense. The gov has always had their hand in the media but the MSM seem to have become a full on hand puppet at this point.
He fought the reauthorization of the Un-Patriot act but the Congress backed him in a corner and he ended up trading off for something.. If it is not reauthorized every so many years it ends..
My guess: all those "leaks" we saw throughout President Trump's first term weren't actually leaks because they didn't leak classified intel but lies and propaganda instead.
For example, Vindman and the Ukraine nonsense. The leaks that created the fake scandal were all made-up, and that's why no one was ever prosecuted for leaking the past four years. Every fucking time it turned out to be a lie. And they got away with it because Barry legalized it with a DOJ who was more than happy to pretend to have its hands tied.
No, they were lying before Obama got elected. How do you think Obama even got elected in the first place? They covered up his radical communist background.

(Sec. 1078) Revises provisions of the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 authorizing the Secretary of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to provide for the preparation and dissemination of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, including about its people and policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, the Internet, and other information media, including social media, and through information centers and instructors. Authorizes the Secretary and the Board to make available in the United States motion pictures, films, video, audio, and other materials disseminated abroad pursuant to such Act, the United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994, the Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act, or the Television Broadcasting to Cuba Act. Amends the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 to remove statutory limitations on the ability of the Board and the State Department to provide information about their activities to the media, the public, or Congress.
So, I read up on it, there is a separate HR that says the same thing, but with an additional couple of lines, which says that the propaganda can be used on the domestic civilian populace as opposed to the 1948 version which said it couldn’t.
The issue is that this does not affect non-state owned media. They rather seem to have colluded on narrative control.
Holy shit I went to the government website for this on my phone and everything froze up. The whole internet app I use. Had to restart my phone. Coincidence?🤔

They get away with lying because the government is corrupt as shit and in on the whole thing. 2020 election broke EVERYTHING, and the world just moved on.
Pretty sure they were lying before that.
But not as blatantly as now. They literally make shit up or tell the opposite of truth. Not just something slightly wrong - but twisted 180°.
Republicans held the House, the Senate, and the Presidency for two full years from 2017-2019.
Why did not one fucking repug introduce a bill or call for a vote to overturn this communist law?
Because they like it too is a simple and honest answer.. They liked the 230 protection for the big tech social media and fought President Trump over that.. These POS politicians exist for one purpose, to protect the 1% racket of crime..
I would say a LOT of people woke up to the constant propaganda and it really back fired. And now there's no going back.
Because they are Republicans?
I remember when that happened then got memory holed. I'm glad you brought this up because it makes a lot of contextual sense. The gov has always had their hand in the media but the MSM seem to have become a full on hand puppet at this point.
All Fucking Roads Lead Back To OBAMA.
And then the backwoods roads lead to you know who....can't say it or you get in trouble though.
But everyone who is actually paying attention knows.
I wonder why Trump never brought it up....or did he?
He fought the reauthorization of the Un-Patriot act but the Congress backed him in a corner and he ended up trading off for something.. If it is not reauthorized every so many years it ends..
Countering disinformation act.
Basically says: Our shit stinks better than their shit.

The lies were smaller and more subtle before that. The mockingbird lying and manipulation went on steroids then. It's media roid rage now.
Just look up “election fraud” online, you’ll see nothing, but article after article using the word “baseless” repeatedly endlessly.

In plain English, propaganda to other countries. Authorizes propaganda to other countries.
Right.. does that mean it opened the floodgates domestically too? I want to understand the connection.

Thanks!
"It's only a lie if you believe it." -T.S. Twenty-
This is one of the biggest questions i would have for President Trump is why he didnt get rid of this.
It's because almost everyone is morons.
Haven’t seen this guy in awhile. I thought he lost his acct.
Didn't he denounce Trump and the right and say that he was wrong all along and some other cuck non-sense?
Not recently but like a year ago or more.
He is anti-Trump now.
Yes, he was banned from Twitter due to wrongthink a couple years ago. This is an old tweet.
Brother needs to get on Gab ffs
So why didnt trump reverse this day one? Still havent gotten an answer for this...
That should've been the first thing repealed when Trump got in office.
Holy shit I went to the government website for this on my phone and everything froze up. The whole internet app I use. Had to restart my phone. Coincidence?🤔
This the Smith-Mundt "Modernization" Act?
They get away with it because 90% of their listeners believe it.

Nothing is real. It's all an illusion of choice.
Trump should have called this out specifically.
That guy is a lunatic, a faggot and a rabid anti-Trumper.
Look it up.
It's almost as if a specific group of people control all the levers of power including the media, banks, and politics. So strange right?
