The idea is Orwellian. “Ministries of Truth” never advocate for truth, only for ideologies or agendas. They who said there was Russian collusion, that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, and who want to secretly slip CRT into curricula, now wish to be the sole arbiters of “truth”. No.

Rick Reynolds

If you don't want the likes of Donald Trump to have a cabinet level "Ministry of Truth," you should oppose Joe Biden's “Disinformation Governance Board.” Anyone with a sense of history, American or the world, should oppose the government with the power to censor its political enemies.

The real story typically comes from the real people involved. If they express their opinions and tell their story on social media, it's unfiltered.

Social media's a hotbed of misinformation! I'd never believe a post until I saw it confirmed on a news outlet.

People like to share things that are "shocking" and feed into their fear and filter bias. I always fact check or see if I can at least find the story on other sources.

First off a "opinion" is just that. It's not fact, it's not news, it's just what some one thinks or feels. The same goes for "media outlets" No one gives a damm about your "opinions"

You can tell some things would not normally be filmed.

One has only to look at FB and its fake news and its coverup of same to know that many social posts are fake. Don't read or trust any of them.

Russian trolls and idiots that perpetuate their crappy memes. Don't believe anything you read on FB without verifying it independently, ever.
