Hello

"is" represents the positive side of things, and "isn't" represents the opposite.

Rant.

I read a comic recently, which demonstrates the difference between a "1984" dystopia and a "Brave New World" dystopia. Our modern society clearly represents a shift away from Cold War era disinformation (where they outright lied) to an era of misinformation. The human brain is overflowed with pop news, flashing quickly into and out of our brains to best distract from the accumulating truth that exposes injustice to no avail.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 has had long lasting effects on our culture, from the dumbing down of mainstream, to the opinionizing of news and the result is a collectively confused electorate, which cannot hope to enact change with so many lined pockets being pulled in every congressional direction.

If one thing were to change in our society, for real freedom of speech to maintain a level of decency, the Telecommunications Act needs to be repealed and the repercussions of libel need to be bestowed onto any channel with the word "news" in its title.

Is this how it was supposed to be...?
