Nice post @fiction-to-power. If you were trying to become a dictator (bad way to put it) wouldn't you want to discredit anything that suggests a thread of truth as being wrong or create confusion? Sadly, we're in a country that I would venture to say at least 40% if not higher actually believes that most of the news on Twitter and FB is real. Even worse, I know people that have fully believed stories by The Onion. Yet, they don't know enough to know any different. I even have to get on my parents about this. They are far from being a millenial or undereducated mentality.

You were featured in week 62 of @pifc's Pay It Forward Curation Contest by @chekohler. @pifc is a Pay It Forward Community which believes in by helping others grow we build a stronger community. We run this contest each week, it is open to everyone. It's a great way to show off people you find that might need some more exposure and meet new people
