[Right Scoop] Judicial Watch today filed a complaint against Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Jackie Speier, on the same basis as the complaint against Nunes, for violating House ethics rules by disclosing classified information to the public.
Oooooohhh -- this is going to be amusing...for some of us, anyway.
[HEATST] The former Federal Election Commission chairwoman Ann M. Ravel says that political speech must be controlled on social media. She presented her remarks in a speech at UC Berkeley, calling for regulations against "fake news."
Speaking at an event called "Future of Democracy," Ravel argued the proliferation of "fake news" and political advertising on platforms like Facebook influenced elections. She warned that the lack of disclosure by the creators of these campaigns was becoming a huge problem.
"We know that there’s a lot of campaigning that’s moved to the internet, whether it’s through fake news or just outright advertising and there is almost no regulation of this, very little," she said. "And so that the disclosure that we expect as to who is behind campaigns is not going to exist soon"
"Some people are even predicting that by 2020 most of the advertising is going to move from television to the internet, and I think this is a serious issue that requires a lot of discussion," continued Ravel.
During her tenure as the chairwoman of the FEC, Ravel previously called for right-leaning websites like the Drudge Report to be "regulated," and blamed hostile responses towards her proposals on "misogyny." She claimed it was within the purview of the Federal Election Commission to oversee internet political activities, including the airing of political viewpoints.

I thought anything we say is already a "hate speech"?

Scientists really need to develop a flawless lie detector. Then it can be attached to small bombs and worn by all reporters and politicians. The moment they lie, sentence carried out automatically.

Well, they always prattle on about darwin don't they? And about how great science is. Cept when it goes against their precious anti-human narrative.

Darth, yet again, says what I'm thinking, faster and better.
I've often wished for the powers of Albus Dumbledore to make pols and reporters tell the truth.....nothing but the truth....and the touch of Voldemort to deal with the miscreants.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
