OMG ... will they really write a law to fix fake news?

OMG is not an unreasonable response to news of the European establishment's idea of "writing a law" to fix "fake news".  You can see the story for yourself if you want to have your very own Ah Ha moment.. For anyone who has thought many long years on such things (insert Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent here) this is seriously F**ked up and kind of scary. 

Shutting down fake news could move us closer to a modern-day ‘1984’ - The Washington Post:

I have to say this is written by an unlikely pair, a Cato Institute wonk Flemming Rose and a Danish wonk from a group called "Justitia"Jacob Mchangama.  Sample below...definite free speechers. In a nutshell???? Yea, it's more complicated than that and have to wait for another episode. I like Flemming's bumper sticker thought of the day.  If you look closely at the bug in the left hand corner you will crack up.  Good to have a little dark humor because this stuff is not funny.
