So I was reading the Countering disinformation and propaganda act And found this:
"SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) foreign governments, including the Governments of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, use disinformation and other propaganda tools to undermine the national security objectives of the United States and key allies and partners"
My question is this; how is fox news (owned by Australian based Rupert Murdoch not fall under this clause?
I realize that they are publicly owned but as the primary share holder by far could not the legal case be made that Fox news is in violation?? I'd appreciate thoughts on this. Perhaps there is a way via litigation if not direct action to bring pressure to bear and publicly highlight the hypocrisy?

I feel this is relevant to pizzagate on a macro scale. Cnn and other left leaning MSM outlets have lost social credibility due to being outed as prodigious liars ad nausium over the last month.. This is the reason fox news was selected to air the Alefantis.. Fluff interview.. It appeals to the conservative base.. People 50-60 still adhere to red vs blue fairly reliably and generally believe Fox if they are conservative.. If a legal framework can be built to allege treason via this new legislation it would act as a symbolic gesture to damage credibility.. I say symbolic since even if there is proven violation it is improbable that DoJ would act.. So.... Litigate.. In a hugely public way... There has to be someone willing to sue them.
This was passed so quickly... I certainly could be wrong yet I have this nagging feeling even they didn't think it through from every last angle.
If they lose the legacy media their ability to manage public opinion is severely compromised.. Let's kick out as many legs from under them as we can.

Absolutely. The dumb fucks who passed this didn't realize it applies to the entire government, not just the traitors who work in special access projects. There are a lot of patriots in the government who can now take advantage of this and use it against the traitors in government who wanted to use this legislation as a weapon against the people. I'm excited to see fbianon and the snake eaters fucking up the co-conspirators of pizzagate.

it isn't law yet. It merely passed the house.

No. It was attached to the NDAA, approved by the senate, reconciled, and signed by Obama. It is law now. It's funny the evil shit they do over Christmas. Ultimately, I place this on the heads of Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee. Either one could have filibustered this, but they didn't- the fuckers.
