2. We can see the danger propaganda poses for any country where it is allowed to flourish.

We have propaganda now in our media where everyone chooses which outlet that suits their opinions. Unpleasant facts are now just dismissed if they don’t fit the viewers views. We cannot even be sure of what is fact or fiction.

We must demand reform and require truth in news reporting. No more “it’s entertainment not news“ defense. If we do not we are lost. There are limits that can be imposed on free speech such as not being able to shout fire in a crowded theater if there is no fire for obvious reasons. The reasons are just as obvious with our situation now. We are losing our Democracy!
