Started? Lol "Center for Information Analysis and Response" Ie Center for External Propaganda Analysis and Internal Propaganda Response.
Listening to radio in car, guy giving the news updates says "you're listening to REAL news on CBS" Pffft.....
Hey, who cares about free speech as long as we can have guns, guns, and more guns? You guys have to be the sorest bunch of "winners" on the planet earth.......
Read the bill boys. I copy and pasted only the portion of the grants, funding, etc as it related to being able to fund certain non-governmental agencies to ascertain what is "real" news and what isn't. Edited OP, to make it more clear that I only copied a snippet.
Not sure what you are babbling on about. Free speech and guns are both equally important. There are no winners with this bill, (Well except those who want to push their narratives to the people) We all lose, regardless of what side you are on.
From the article linked in the OP: The Bill was introduced by Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger from Illinois, Democrat Ted Lieu from California. Originally introduced in March by Republican Senator Rob Portman from Ohio and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut.
Is "babbling on" the new "butt hurt"? It's so hard to keep up with the latest lingo. Let me give it a try: Denny, about all those other threads, I'm not sure what you were babbling on about. Did I do it right? barfo
