I don't, I have more sense but what about all the people that do?
I watched the series made by Ed Balls 'Trumps America' and his supporters hoover up what he tweets like it's 'the gospel'.

So do we ban 'saying stuff on the Internet' or Trump?

Should we ban the Bible - people hoover that up like the gospel too.

Oh! I'm not getting into the Trump debate.To me he's just an odious individual, he lacks integrity, honour, and any sense of magnanimity.The fact he couldn't even say anything decent about the death of John McCain sums him up perfectly.

Religion - IMO responsible both directly and indirectly for the deaths of millions over the centuries.I'll let you call it.

If we left it to the professionals we would never have found out about Watergate - the minute you give the Government the power to censor your news you will only get the news they want you to hear.

Great program - I pissed myself when he had his stuffed nicked during his night in prison.

But Bernstein and Woodward were the professionals i.e. The Washington Post.

yes - but if the Government controlled the media they wouldn't have been allowed to publish

But I haven’t advocated government control of the media, I said to leave it to the professional media i.e. journalists.What I would like to see dismantled is the pernicious and destructive social media platforms.
