A new ‘anti-Russian propaganda’ bill is to be signed into law which will make it illegal to run an alternative media website in the United States. The bill is an attempt to counteract “measures by Russia to exert covert influence” in America. Worryingly, the definition of what constitutes “Russian influence” includes references to so-called ‘fake news’ websites and any site deemed anti-establishment. Activistpost.com reports: Definitions include media manipulation, covert broadcasting, disinformation and forgeries, and “funding agents of influence.” It’s easy to see how this law, if passed by the Senate and signed by the president, could be used against “fake news” websites. On November 24, The Washington Post published an article citing “experts” who claim Russian propaganda helped Donald Trump get elected. “Two teams of independent researchers found that the Russians exploited American-made technology platforms to attack U.S. democracy at a particularly vulnerable moment, as an insurgent candidate harnessed a wide range of grievances to claim the White House. The sophistication of the Russian tactics may complicate efforts by Facebook and Google to crack down on “fake news,” as they have vowed to do after widespread complaints about the problem,” the Post reported. Now first of all it looks like Obama's Congress went back on their words when they voted against Obama forming any new regulations in his final two months of his Presidency, when they voted against Obama's midnight rules late in November after the election. Anyways if this is to be signed then it only shows how fearful the Washington establishment is of actual news, since the alternative news are the only ones willing to call out Washingtons treason...Unlike CNN, MSNBC, and other sources of mainstream news. The alternative news is being targeted in this anti Russia "propaganda" bill, which shows that this bill had more to it then being against Russia. However this bill gives multiple alternative news sources free advertising in itself, because it should show Americans how truthful the Alternative news in America is...Unlike the proven real fake news of mainstream news sources.
