Trump is a fucking puppet and people don't realize what this whole "fake news" trend he started is really about...... It's about complete revocation of freedom of the press, and the end of anonymity. This (among other reasons) is why the media attacks Trump. Not only does it divide and conquer society, but it makes people believe that fake news is a threat and needs to be controlled. In reality, basic common sense and simple research would be sufficient to determine fake from real news. Furthermore, this puts all alternative news at risk, as we've seen lately. The only news and info deemed "real" will be whatever is mainstream.
The president is a public relations tool, and a manipulating (and manipulated) puppet just like every other president of the last 120 years. This Assange case is just another slice at the few thin threads of freedom we're still dangling from. End of story.
Well said...took the words out of my mouth.
