What about option 3?

3. New Republic and the rest of the MSM decide what is reliable and how you think?

Isn't that what this is all about? The mainstream media and the power brokers behind the MSM wanting control of a major means of communication?

Isn't that why they attacked google and google news? Isn't that why they attacked reddit? Isn't that why they attacked youtube? Isn't that why they are attacking facebook.

I think most people want option 1 and were happy with 1. But the MSM is trying to force option 3.
