Hillary Clinton Proves Fake News Is Newspeak

[Flanders]

Hillary Clinton on Thursday decried the spread of fake news online, calling it an “epidemic” that Congress should take action against.

“The epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year — it’s now clear the so-called fake news can have real-world consequences,” Clinton said during a speech on Capitol Hill.​

Clinton blasts 'epidemic' of fake news​

Fake news is newspeak for abolishing freedom of speech on the Internet.

newspeak (noun)

Deliberately ambiguous and contradictory language used to mislead and manipulate the public.​

Democrats calling everything a “conspiracy theory” was wearing thin; so they came up “fake news.”

The truth is that Hillary Clinton has been attacking freedom of speech on the Internet since she was first lady.

Communist governments the world over never let freedom of speech stand in their way:

“It is forbidden to use hearsay to create news or use conjecture and imagination to distort the facts,” it said.

“All levels of the cyberspace administration must earnestly fulfill their management responsibility for internet content, strengthen supervision and investigation, severely probe and handle fake and unfactual news,” the regulator added.​

China to ban news websites from using stories gleaned from social media​

Alas, FACTUAL news is the same here as it is in China.

Elect congenital liar, Hillary Clinton, and she is sure to adopt China’s control over the Internet where lies told by government officials cannot be questioned on the Internet; most especially the lies they tell defending their reputations:

Hillary Rodham Clinton said IN 1998 during a meeting with reporters said that "we are all going to have to rethink how we deal with" the Internet because of the handling of White House sex scandal stories on Web sites.

Clinton was asked whether she favored curbs on the Internet, after the DRUDGE REPORT made headlines with coverage of her husband's affair with a White House intern. "We are all going to have to rethink how we deal with this, because there are all these competing values ... Without any kind of editing function or gatekeeping function, what does it mean to have the right to defend your reputation?" she said.​

FLASHBACK: HILLARY CLINTON SAYS INTERNET NEWS NEEDS 'RETHINK'​

Imagine what the Clinton image would be today had the Internet never been invented! Look at what Hillary got away with in the Internet’s early years:

NEW YORK – The emerging history that Hillary Clinton evaded a planned Justice Department prosecution in the 1990s for her evidently criminal activity in the Whitewater affair has now been fully documented by Washington-based Judicial Watch.

XXXXX​

While Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign will never admit federal prosecutors had prepared a written indictment charging her with criminal activity for her involvement in the Whitewater scandal, Judicial Watch has been able to identify the exact location in the National Archives where the Obama administration hides the incriminating documents.

One of the indictments specifically lists “overt acts” allegedly committed by the former first lady.​

History repeating? Hillary has knack for eluding jail​

Interestingly, since freedom of speech is nonexistent in totalitarian regimes the Chicoms did not have to criminalize everything that comes under the heading of conspiracies theories —— interpretations and predictions:

Just prior to his appointment as President Obama’s so-called regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein wrote a lengthy academic paper suggesting the government should “infiltrate” social network websites, chat rooms and message boards. Such “cognitive infiltration,” Sunstein argued, should be used to enforce a U.S. government ban on “conspiracy theorizing.”

Finally, the public’s knowledge of Clinton’s crimes learned on the Internet is the only reason a criminal indictment is forthcoming. Left to the people administering the law secretly the Clintons would be seen as the gold standards for honesty, truth, and patriotism.​

Hillary Found Her Gatekeeper

Clearly, media had a hand in creating the fake news gambit. Their reason is conspicuous. There is no way in hell Democrats will limit television they control. Indeed, Democrats and press barons are equally contemptible of freedom speech on the Internet because it is a direct threat to their huge incomes.

NOTE: Media went out of their way to promote Hillary Clinton for one reason only: She loves freedom of the press while she hates freedom of speech. Basically, Donald Trump beat Hillary AND TELEVISION. Now their broadcast licenses will soon be in the hands of the guy that beat them. Also note that a few talking heads who supported Clinton are now sucking up to The Donald. That is what I call knowing which side of the bread has the butter.

Incidentally, America’s freedoms can live very well without freedom of the press, but the country will die without ABSOLUTE political freedom of speech. if conservative Americans want to protect the First Amendment I suggest eliminating these four words ——“or of the press” —— so it reads:

First Amendment​

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.​

Parenthetically, the parasite class plays fast and loose with the word:

redress (verb, transitive)
redressed, redressing, redresses

1. To set right; remedy or rectify.

2. To make amends to.

3. To make amends for. See synonyms at correct.

4. To adjust (a balance, for example).

noun
1. Satisfaction for wrong or injury; reparation. See synonyms at reparation.

2. Correction or reformation.​

My point. The press would have to defend freedom of speech for everybody in every venue as a matter of self-interest instead of only defending press protection while feeding freedom of speech to Democrat wolves.

As I’ve said many times, Democrats had nothing to fear so long as freedom of speech was limited to soapbox orators and barroom pundits. Freedom of speech on the Internet is informing the public about the Democrat party’s tyrannical agenda, and about top Democrats, to more Americans than Democrats can live with.

Bottom line: Freedom of speech’s continued growth on the Internet is a frightening prospect to Democrats; hence, they are reacting like cornered rats. Their hostile reaction is akin to Muslims learning on the Internet that Allah is not in their camp.

Allow me to close with a bit of humor:

“As we talked about here last night, fake news played a role in this election and continues to find a wide audience,” said Williams during the Wednesday broadcast of MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour.”​

Lyin’ Brian Williams slams ‘fake news’​

 

[The Professor]

Great article!

I have always maintained that there is not a single problem in this country that would not be solved quickly if we had an honest, aggressive, and diligent press. If we had that, everything else that is worthwhile and fair would follow. Joseph Pulitzer understood the awesome power of the press:

"There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy. Get these things out in the open, describe them, attack them, ridicule them in the press, and sooner or later public opinion will sweep them away. Publicity may not be the only thing that is needed, but it is the one thing without which all other agencies will fail."

“Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together," Pulitzer wrote. "An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself. The power to mold the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations.”

― Joseph Pulitzer

Pulitzer was right; as the press goes, so goes the country. Unfortunately, when the press withholds or distorts the news in favor of a personal political agenda they become an enemy more dangerous by far than any foreign threat could ever be. The greatest threat to our country's security is not Russia or China but the unholy alliance between the MSM and the Soros-backed Democratic Party.

Hillary's personal campaign of tyranny came to an end because Americans learned the truth about her. They caught her in lie after lie after lie. They discovered her role in the senseless death and destruction in the Middle East. They heard the war monger laugh after she proclaimed, “We came, we saw he died.” They became aware of her plans for open borders, an open invitation for criminals and terrorists to enter our country. The truth defeated Hillary Clinton and the truth came from the Internet not the MSM. The Democrats want to silence the Internet because they cannot control it. The Internet is our last line of defense against a corrupt and dangerous political system and the only people trying to muzzle it are those who are part of that deplorable system.

But for the Internet, a corrupt, dishonest, war mongering megalomaniac would be President of the United States. With the open support of the MSM Clinton came close. The Internet literally saved our country.

Pravda is less in lockstep with Russia than the LMSM is with Democrats

 

[gipper]

I have long thought that leftism would be a minor player in American politics and culture, as it was for many decades prior to the late 1960s, if not for a left wing media.

A dishonest entirely biased media is NOT the Fourth Estate, It is the Fifth Column.

After what Wikileaks exposed, how is it much of the left media still exists? Do some Americans want a media that lies to them?

To CrusaderFrank: Walter Duranty was only the tip of journalism’s left-leaning bias in the 1930s.

Here is a thread about Pravda and print journalism. Television is included. Basically, transmitters are more destructive than printing presses. Interestingly, television began lessening print’s influence —— now the Internet is doing the same thing to television:

Did Pravda’s Reporters Spy For Us?

The New York Times reported shortly after the election that Google and Facebook “have faced mounting criticism over how fake news on their sites may have influenced the presidential election’s outcome.”

That was fake news in itself: “fake news” didn’t influence the presidential election’s outcome, all too real news about the wrong direction in which our nation was headed under Barack Obama did. Nevertheless, the Times said that “those companies responded by making it clear that they would not tolerate such misinformation by taking pointed aim at fake news sites’ revenue sources.”

How would they do that? “Google kicked off the action on Monday afternoon when the Silicon Valley search giant said it would ban websites that peddle fake news from using its online advertising service. Hours later, Facebook, the social network, updated the language in its Facebook Audience Network policy, which already says it will not display ads in sites that show misleading or illegal content, to include fake news sites.”

A Facebook spokesman explained: “We have updated the policy to explicitly clarify that this applies to fake news. Our team will continue to closely vet all prospective publishers and monitor existing ones to ensure compliance.”​

Geller: ‘Fake News’? Left-Wing War on Conservative Websites: Facebook, Google, LA Times, Obama Take Aim

Geller: 'Fake News'? Left-Wing War on Conservative Websites: Facebook, Google, LA Times, Obama Take Aim - Breitbart​

Ms. Geller is talking about censorship. The problem is that censorship is a polite way of violating the First Amendment’s freedom of speech protection.

To be fair, censorship gets complicated when it runs into private property Rights. The best example is the owners of Hollywood studios. In my opinion they had every Right to decide what could, or could not, be said with their property. Indeed, the movie industry in the early years was dominated by censorship.

The Motion Picture Production Code of 1930 (Hays Code)​

The public airwaves is a different matter. The airwaves is the difference between censorship and freedom of speech. Even there the owners of television transmitters decide what they will censor on the public airwaves. Pamela Geller’s piece shows that the Internet appears to be going down the same road.

Most people who pay attention to freedom of speech overlook property Rights when they discuss censorship. In short: Nobody has a Right to commandeer someone else’s microphone to get a message out, nor does anyone have a constitutional Right to be heard. Socialists always had trouble getting people to listen. That is why Hollywood and television have to sneak their messages into almost everything they produce.

Sam Goldwyn’s famous line, "If you want to send a message, call Western Union." was not about censorship. The Hollywood blacklist flap in the McCarthy Era was about ownership Rights although liberals convinced succeeding generations that the “Witch Hunts” were about censorship. Communist writers and directors demanded their Right to use someone else’s property to send their message. In effect, studio heads like Goldwyn said “Screw you.” Liberals have never stopped pissing and moaning about it.

Parenthetically, I am not a big fan of Rupert Murdoch, or any media baron for that matter, but if he loses his property Rights what chance do I have of keeping mine?

FOX Censors Sally Field's Anti-War Rant

Televisionista: FOX Censors Sally Field's Anti-War Rant​

Sally Field tried to take Rupert Murdoch’s property and use it to send her message. That is not freedom of speech. Sally Field had other choices. She could have bought a soapbox, purchased her own media outlet, or even get permission from Murdoch beforehand. When the story was in the news I remember thinking “I would love to see a pro-Iraq War American go to Sally’s home and preach to a crowd from her front porch without her permission.”

Liberals confuse the issue even further by saying that conservatives claim they want less government but applaud censorship. No true conservative wants to censor people like Michael Moore so long as he makes his films without using tax dollars, or use somebody else’s property without their permission.

On the other hand the Socialist message is forced on children in the public schools. Al Gore crossed the line when his environmental crapola was forced on school children. Had he been denied access to a young CAPTIVE audience the Left would still be screaming censorship. Gore proved that liberals are allowed to cross the line separating government coercion and the Right to NOT LISTEN whenever it suits them.

NOTE: When the Hollywood studio system disappeared, Communists and liberals of every stripe took over the industry. As the technology for delivering a message evolved Hollywood saviors began to assert the individual’s Right to preach a message with somebody else’s property rather than make a movie with their own money encompassing their message. Government parasites take the message one step further when they decide how much money they must be paid.

To get a view of political messages in the “entertainment” industry, go to this link for a brief history of message movies:

Shoot the messenger: Hollywood calls Western Union again

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Shoot+the+messenger:+Hollywood+calls+Western+Union+again-a084841771​

One observation about message boards. The owners of every message board practices censorship to one degree or another. They solicit messages from people like me simply by providing the platform. I post messages voluntarily even though I object to censorship. Bottom line: Posters on message boards do not threaten ownership Rights when owners get the “product” free —— unlike Hollywood moguls who paid their employees to write and produce movies for resale.

Fake news has turned into a cornucopia of misdirection for Democrats. Unlike the conspiracy theory gambit, fake news is fodder for every word spoken regardless of who says it. They outdid themselves when they jumped on Roger Staubach:
