So basically he's saying just stick to CNN for the true info !
Nothing like trying to put the jack back in it's box .
I think it is far more sinister than that. Look at this as laying the groundwork for Hillary Clinton to enact policies that shut down sources of information that do not conform to the government's stated and required narrative of events and interpretation of data.
In the USA there is a penchant to give a title to a piece of legislation that is the opposite of its true intent or predicted result (think Affordable Care Act), so look for massive censorship under some sort of "American Fairness in Media" legislation which is neither "American" nor "Fair".
Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign was lauded for its embrace of digital tools, as it accomplished unprecendented levels of community engagement from a national politician. The Obama team was on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, plus it had its own social network, My.BarackObama.com, to boot.
The campaign rallied early adopters generally not engaged in the political process behind the slogan "Change," which drove historic fundraising success. Following Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention in 2008, the Obama campaign racked the most donations in a single 24-hour period ever — $10 million from some 130,000 donors.
"Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not be president. Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not have been the nominee," Huffington Post founder Ariana Huffington said, at the Web 2.0 Summit following the 2008 election.

Before the internet, the crazy people stood on street corners handing out poorly xeroxed pamphlets describing their whacky views. They never reached more than a couple hundred people.
Today, the crazy people create news networks, blogs, websites, and youtube channels where they espouse those views to millions and the gullible fall into the trap rather than ignore them.
People who push false realities over facts should be silenced. They're not journalists, and their speech isn't providing any positives, it's purely negative for those who follow.

Might seem crazy, but one of the things that opened my eyes and started to get me questioning more things was the Nibiru conspiracy. It may be a whacky theory, but it also got me to start questioning things. Sometimes all we need is a little kick in the butt to seek out the truth, even if the kick may not always be in the right direction.
