Older americans tended to vote heavily for Trump. Let them eat cake. (and, I guess, die in a coma since they'll lose their ability to afford insulin)

So they're actively killing off their core constituents?
That sounds like the best scenario we could hope for.
They're looking for ways to funnel more money to their rich owners. If poor people suffer and die in the process, eh, that's business.
FB friend:
Yup, if they didn't have a very effective propaganda apparatus, they'd be toast by now. As long as Fox, Newsmax and OAN (and Twitter now) exist to spread their falsehoods, they can distract their base from what they are really doing(fleecing the American public to gain wealth and power for themselves). There should be friggin hefty fines and jail time for KNOWINGLY broadcasting incorrect information. A provable lie isn't an opinion....
The problem with *that* is Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Having a “Ministry of Truth” means the truth can change depending on who is in charge. Do you want the Trump Administration deciding what you can and cannot say? Do you want them deciding what “the truth” is?
I don’t really have a good answer. It’s very clear that disinformation is destroying the country but I don’t know how you’d stop it short of something like China where speech is controlled and repressed.

The truth is what the facts indicate. And only the experts have sufficient facts.
If it's about healthcare, the decision about what's true can only be made by doctors.
If it's about climate change, climate scientists.
If it's about history, historians.
Etc.

Hypothetically, if there had been a Ministry of Truth established when the good guys were in charge, and they had done their damn job, there wouldn't be an opportunity for the bad guys to be put in charge, not now, not ever.
Also, the bad guys don't need a Ministry of Truth to already exist in order to suppress free speech; they'll make one themselves.

It's a tricky issue to be sure, but something needs to be done. My guess is the best way to handle it would be having individuals, not the state bring the issue up in court and have both sides bring the evidence to prove their case.
This whole thing is a mess, really.
