Hillary Clinton challenged Congress on Thursday to combat fake and misleading news on social media, using a post-election appearance to tackle an issue that gripped her presidential campaign and culminated with a shooting incident Sunday in Northwest Washington.
Without directly citing the shooting at Comet Ping Pong by a man who believed a false online conspiracy related to her campaign, Clinton said the “epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media” presented a danger to both the nation’s politics and the safety of its citizens.
“It’s now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences. This isn’t about politics or partisanship. Lives are at risk, lives of ordinary people just trying to go about their days, to do their jobs, contribute to their communities,” Clinton said during an address that was otherwise meant as a tribute to retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.).
It was just the second high-profile appearance Clinton has made since conceding the election to President-elect Donald Trump the day after the Nov. 8 election.

As if you needed more evidence that the MSM is now a speakerbox for the Democratic party, the war on 'fake news' is now a reality. The democrats are not happy that the MSM's efforts to convince people to vote for Clinton did not work and they now want to attack any source of information that doesn't conform with their views. This is literally what China does to their people and we are one step away from North Korea level control. For all you liberals out there that claim to care about freedom of speech, how do you feel about Hillary Clinton outright calling on lawmakers to attack the 1st amendment in order to protect their agenda?
