#2 Obama predicted that the rise of technology needed to be managed to give world citizens more control, beyond the simplistic answers found online.

He stopped just short of blaming Drudge and Breitbart.

#5 Disrupting globalism is a good thing if it means your country is not ceding its sovereignty to a cabal of elite super-rich globalists making policy in secret, that lawful borders are respected, your culture is not destroyed and some group such as the UN is not dictating their values to your country.

Accuracy in news is called Fake news and free speech branded propoganda. How long before the round Up?

#10 Its the one place that routes around editorial control and censorship by the progressives and elites. The truth will come out and there is no way to stop it. The progressives cannot get away with their lies for long, in spite of having the big media as a propaganda organ.
