NPR's Katherine Maher: "the number one challenge" in her fight against disinformation is "the First Amendment in the United States," which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "bad information"

TRANSCRIPT:

Katherine Maher: The number one challenge here that we see is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States... is a fairly robust protection of rights, and that is a protection of rights, both for platforms, which I actually think is very important. The platforms have those rights to regulate what kind of content they want on their sites, but it also means it is a little bit tricky to really address some of the real challenges of 'where does bad information come from?' and some of the influence peddlers who have made a real market economy around it.

This “bad information” is what the serious people running our government call “malinformation”.

Disinformation = lies in service of an objective.

Misinformation = Things that may or may not be true.

Malinformation = True things they don’t want you to know.

NPR always sounds to me like a well-produced high school radio station.

So, the left determines which information is “bad?”

Uh-huh.

Exactly. I never listen to NPR, but occasionally see articles they post online. They are so ridiculously biased to the left. They tried to hide it, but it’s impossible

People such as Miss Maher are admittedly of slightly higher than average IQ, but they identify as geniuses. This sort of mismatch is also found in the self-assessment of members of the globalist cabal at the highest levels.

Our job is to help them understand reality.

Them understand reality?

When the question becomes US or THEM, how will the majority vote?

Never forget they will never accept reality. Just look at your geometrically increasing electrical bill as an example. Or women in sports etc.

She also said that “truth often gets in the way of getting things done.”

NO more taxpayer money.
IF it can’t stand on its own two feet, let it go into the dustbin of history.

Good grief, who appointed her to be the police for what they call, bad information for all the people in this country? So young and already a tyrant/fascist.

You’re right, they won’t be willing to accept reality. But our job is still viable and satisfying.

The majority will vote according to what they believe. What they believe comes from what they know. In these days, the people are learning what they never knew before.
