Is it ok for private or public entities to allow the spreading of and dissemination of misinformation?

And more importantly...

Should repeat offenders of misinformation, even in the face of reality and fact, be censored?

I think for these questions to be answered properly, we need to agree on a fundamental baseline that the sad truth is that most Americans lack the basic capabilities/understanding to make complex decisions. And therefore need to be helped by people capable of comprehending rational thought.

It's the wrong question. The answer isn't to attack those who disseminate information but rather to educate the populace to use logic, reason and to think critically.

Then they'll censor the liars themselves and an outside- potentially biased- authority won't be necessary.

Yeah, I'm sure that will work. Everybody's just as objective as fuck out there.

I was rather hoping we could start with logic and critically thinking in elementary school. The idea that everyone can and should get a world class education in America isn't far fetched and it isn't impossible.

In fact, it's necessary to the future of our democracy.

As your pictures so clearly show, what we're doing now sure as fuck isn't working.

Are you implying all news outlets are to blame? All politicians are to blame?

If so, you've already been brainwashed and are too ignorant to realize it. You have no use in this conversation.

Number 20 of the 25 point plan of national socialism. I guess you probably prefer the marxist approach which has resulted in young boys being more concerned about wearing a dress than actually learning anything useful

We want to change the system of schools and education, so that every hard-working German can have the chance of higher
education.
  • What is taught should concentrate on practical things
  • Schools should teach civic affairs, so that children can become good citizens
  • If poor parent cannot afford to pay the government should pay for education.
