 Dem Congressman: ‘Best Way to Oppose Fake News Is to Watch Outlets Like MSNBC’
Posted By Cameron Cawthorne On March 17, 2017 @ 2:00 pm In Politics | No Comments

MSNBC host Ali Velshi asked Lieu about recently cosponsoring  a resolution that calls for "opposing fake news and alternative facts."

I'm surprised. He's right.

The first step in opposing fake news is learning to recognise it. That means you gotta watch some.

The best fight against fake news is to not just read  or watch one or two sources

Either this congressman is exceedingly stupid or he's just saying that just to be complementary to the host
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
