Most news reports come from effectively a single source, Reuters, News per se may do, but what people see and read comes from social media as well, and Goggle & Farcebook are spouting noises about controlling the purveyors of fake news. That in itself is censorship. Benign maybe and we demand it. Oh, the irony! And just how many media peeps are on Farcebook and Twatter and are also inculcated thereby? The constant drip, drip. And I didn't refer to the media types but the pun can stay. Beware what you wish for, Farcebook is largely harmless, but when it isn't the impact far outweighs the benefits IMNSHO.
