Time To Stop And Think

The reality of being a content-generator.

As a very long-time user of social media, it’s a necessity, in my opinion, to stop and think about any hidden agendas those writers – let’s not call them content-generators, eh? – you’re reading, that you don’t know on a personal level, may hold. Why? Let Senator Kelly (D-AZ), retired American astronaut, and retired American Navy Captain, tell you:

Senate Intelligence Committee member Mark Kelly warns of a “huge” misinformation campaign by foreign actors. After hearing from the FBI, DNI, and NSA, Kelly estimates that 20%-30% of the political content and comments on social media are generated by Russia, Iran, and China.

20-30% of political comment and contents is generated by our international adversaries? People who are not making honest arguments, providing factual information, discussing in proper American spirit – instead, poisoning the spirit of old-fashioned American discussion.

My readers, do you pause to consider this possibility before stepping into a discussion?
