This is going to take some time to view in its entirety. However, it's fair to say that I am approaching it with trepidation inasmuch as PBS is a shill for the Progressive movement and the bloated government that supports it. And the "documentary" opens with some interesting comments that tend to reinforce my opinion. But I will stick with it and keep an open mind out of respect for your effort to open the discussion. The simple truth is that Facebook and the other social media are now attempting to regulate the conversation. Regardless of their "intentions", regulation equates censorship. Claiming that open unregulated conversation somehow perverts democracy is laughable. (Just think about it and you'll understand what I mean) The real dilemma is ours. How do we communicate open and honestly when the means of communication are regulated to favor one side of every issue?

I neither take Facebook nor any media source as gospel anymore. Everyone in the media has appeared to lost their objectivity, honesty, and slants the facts.
