Former Democrat head of the Fed Election Commission pushes for government to control of Net content

Conservatives have known for years that you can't trust anything reported by the Lyin' Mainstream Media.  And even though everyone knows the internet is full of wild speculation, it's a far better source for information because there's always someone *local* to any event, who reports what really happened in that event.

Because the net has always been open to all opinions, and because more Americans are learning that the Lyin' Media constantly lies to support Democrats, it's getting harder for Democrats and their media allies to succeed in fooling at least the 50 percent of Americans who aren't Democrats.

So you won't be surprised to learn that for years Democrats have been trying to ban individuals and conservative outlets from posting anything on the Net that cuts against the interests of Democrats.

Of course you probably think that's just a wild conspiracy theory.  But now the former Dem chairperson of the all-powerful Federal Election Commission has written a paper entitled "The Case for Government Regulation of "Fake News."

You won't believe all the things they're seriously pushing for.  Here's their own summary:

Fake news--or as we call it, “disinformation advertising”-- undermines voter competence, or voters’ ability to make the choice that is right for them. Regulations to address it should aim to improve voter competence in three ways: (1) reduce the cognitive burden on the voter by reducing the amount of disinformation to which they’re exposed; (2) educate and nudge social media users in order to inoculate voters from the negative effects of the disinformation and teach them how to avoid unintentionally spreading it; and (3) improve transparency to facilitate speech that counters disinformation after it is spread, creating the possibility that voters will receive “corrected” information.

The Democrat authors claim that allowing anyone to post their opinion on the internet--including social media-- "splinters the electorate with divisive messages."

In their view, Americans should only see and hear "news" and opinions approved by Democrat.  Can't have "divisive messages" on the Net, right?

As an aside, the link goes to a site called "sites.google.com/sites/[name of author of paper]" which is apparently owned by Google.  Question:  does anyone know if Google charges people to host a website for folks?  If Google is doing this for free, anyone wanna speculate on whether they'd offer to host a conservative?

Of course they wouldn't.  But if it's a paying gig, any bets on whether Google would offer the same terms to a conservative?  

You already know the answer.  And this, folks, is what Democrats want the net to be like:  The only opinions allowed will be Democrat/liberal ones.  And thanks to Google for proving my point so easily.
