Fake news or misleading social media entries?

Published:

Headlines: The Kentucky Secretary of State removed the names of 33,696 dead voters.

Lots of people are saying the people in Kentucky that voted for McConnell are dead from the neck up, but there is no evidence any one on the "deceased" list voted. Unless there is solid communication between the state Board of Elections and county Health Departments, thousands could remain on the registered voter list. People move and to my knowledge there is no requirement notify the Board of Election. 

In the past year efforts were made by social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc to monitor what people posted and because of it some people are saying it violates their 1st Amendment Right. Most forget or don't understand they checked a TOS box and agreed to the site's conditions when they signed up.

IMO, it looks much different when saying Sec of State Michael Adams found and removed the names of 33,696 registered voters that passed away.

The Press in this country have almost always been trusted until a Hotel Magnate a modern day snake oil salesman became President. Once appointed to the position, the news then became " fake news " if it did not go along with what Kellyanne called " Alternate facts."

For 4 years the Maga folks have drunk the Kool-aid & one can only hope that it drains from their systems once & for all in the near future. During that time, the President has told his supporters what to do, how to think & literally encouraged violence & doubt in our electoral process. But America dud ride, she woke up just in time, another 4 years would have had us circling the bowl until the suction took us down.
Freedom does reign.

If you're interested in going down the "fake news memory lane" for a bit of Deja Vu, read some of VP Spiro Agnew's remarks about the press in the early 70s. If I didn't know better, I'd swear Trump was quoting Agnew verbatim.
