Orwellian
Just weeks after the House of Representatives introduced "H.R. 6393: Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017", the U.S. Senate has just passed the "(H.R. 5181) Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act", which was introduced earlier in the year by Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Ted Lieu.
Propaganda
This was all in motion well ahead of the "fake news" propaganda campaign waged by the mainstream media at the behest of the US Government; which by the way in 2012 nullified the Smith-Mundt Act, thereby allowing the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to spread propaganda to the American people within US borders.
Information
Yes, the same people who want to call any counter-narrative to their own, "fake news", and shut down that person or persons means of dissemination, made it legal for themselves to spread propaganda within the US borders.
One thing is for certain, that overweight microphone screaming controlled opposition agent was right about one thing, it's an information war and the war is for your mind. Just be careful who you're listening to, sometimes it's hard to tell.
