Yup, facts and reality have a liberal bias. We're usually right.
Lolol. Up is down, down is up... The left can't even get the two sexes right. And let's not forget those edited audios, contrived "safety" reports, and phony Pulitzer prize-winning news stories. No thanks. This little girl will decide what she sees and reads.
Don't change the subject - we're not talking about Obama's funding, that's long past.
We're talking about how to retain our cherished freedom of speech while dealing with Russian trolls interfering with the operations of BOTH parties in order to weaken our country. This should not be a partisan issue, and those who are trying to turn it into just that make me wonder about their own motivations. Both parties claim to love our country and want what is best for it - why then, can they and their supporters not join together to denounce such deliberate interference by a country historically corrupt and historically hostile to the United States and to western democracy?
because you're not being specific about the propaganda
you're not showing any proof it swung any voters
because you're assuming everyone is stupid enough to believe it
because this all sounds like sour grapes over losing the election
That certainly seems to be your intention. Care to enlighten us to your plan of stopping this evil plague?
Ask your local public librarian. I'm serious. They are the ground troops in defending freedom of information in this country.
Start small. Teach your children well. Teach your peers and your elders, too, if need be. Learn the art of discernment and use it. Speak out when you find something amiss. Avoid sarcasm in one's self and in others - it is generally used as a tool to discount others' arguments, as above. It's generally ineffective.
Check, check, and double-check your sources. Question them. Use your common sense. Read, read and read some more, not just things you agree with but things you heartily disagree with and things in between. Withhold judgment if something seems possible but unproven. Ask good questions. Quit viewing everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. Find common ground.
Do some self-examination about what you really want for yourself, those whom you care about, and your country. We are blessed to live here. Value that blessing and our heritage of a representational, constitutional democratic republic.

No sour grapes here - the election was almost a year ago, why don't you get over it?
How do you prove - or disprove - something of that kind?
The problem is that devious, foreign interference existed, possibly at the behest of one of the campaigns but adversely affecting both, in an effort to weaken our democracy.
This is far bigger than Obama or Hillary or Trump or the Republicans or the Democrats or Bernie Sanders...it's an attempted threat to our democracy, why is that so difficult to understand? Why do you insist on partisanship? You are playing directly into the hands of those who tried to interfere - you are strongly partisan, cast aspersions on those who do not share your political views, and seem to overlook the big glaring urgent issue entirely.

I assume nothing - you seem to assume a lot.
I do object to politicians thinking they should now police the internet. I doubt I'm the only one
Just you try Diane Frankenfeinstein! We're all SICK of you liberals pushing us all around! If you keep it up, we're GOING to revolt!
So you are saying you are revolting?
