Why Hillary Clinton Is Wrong About Punishing Misinformation

Chris Cuomo tackles one of the biggest threats to democracy today: the growing push to control what we see and hear. Chris explains the difference between misinformation and disinformation and why punishing speech, no matter how inflammatory, is a dangerous path. Reflecting on recent comments from Hillary Clinton and the dangers of social media, Chris argues that censorship is not the answer to dealing with bad ideas—defeating them is.

No Chris you are wrong about this man, he is who he is, believe it or not.

Love U Chris, BUT you said that Trump is NOT a threat to democracy???!!! What??? Jan 6th??? Fake electors??? You are the most brilliant person in news media, but this statement, from you, shocked me into writing. Love you brother!

[Rena-exie]

CHRIS, ARE YOU SERIOUS??? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU?

[AzureIce]

Well said Chris! We cannot compromise the first amendment.

Ummm. I disagree with you on Trump not being a threat. He demonstrated that he is a threat to the nation for his role on 6 Jan and he's always unhinged. Not good attributes to have when you hold the highest office in the country. However, I don't favor any of these politicians for all the reasons you discussed regarding politics. I agree there is a big difference between the critical thinkers of the nation and the politicians. There is a lot I disagree with on the democratic side, but Trump and his disrespect won't ever do for me. I liked him in the very beginning but he became too extreme and radical. Project 2025 does matter to me, and it's not okay. I've been on the receiving end of leaders like Trump and I can tell you, they are threats when you give them authority and power especially when they are among the status quo. They can care less about humanity at large. They pick and choose who they value and who they don't and based on that is how they will treat you.

I watched and heard what you said to Brian Tyler Cohen about how "Trump's not a despot".

I'm beyond fking done with you.

[MarioMartinez-iyog]

Sadly Chris you are wrong on this issue. He is a threat to the norms (democracy) established by previous leadership.

[DUIChamp]

Didnt Trump indicate he wanted to revoke ABC's license?

[TheDeRaye]

I fiercely disagree with you on the Trump not being a threat issue. Let's not forget his time in office.

[alvaroq]

Four miserable years of Trump has convinced me he’s a threat to democracy! Just look at his record, that wasn’t just talk. I digress!

[amgirl]

I disagree.people should be held accountable for slander etc we should have debates under oath.

[Allergic--orange]

Honestly when Trump was in office I didn't think too much about it. I didn't like him but he was the leader of my country. If he didn't pull that January 6 crap, I would still feel the same way. Sorry but the man doesn't like to lose and He definitely tried to steal the election. He's literally laying the groundwork again for the same kind of BS. Saying its all "rigged" is such trash. So, I like your podcast but this is a big no for me. Not just because I don't like Trump but because I know what I saw with my own eyes on January 6th.

Trump is not right for this country or anything

[hbgriss]

Chris always disappoints these days. He thinks he has to flip flop for views. Glad he doesn’t have many viewers these days.

[Mrgrizz]

Bro, it has been a blast, but I don't do the bothism anymore. Peace.

[RobertDAgostino-ry]

Listen Chris. I'm so angry because I was a big fan of yours and loved your show and i cannot believe the things you are saying. I think it's sad. What happened..

[Shawn-kytw]

Jesus, what the hell Chris! Are you insane?!

[friendlywolfracing]

Running a pyramid scheme is illegal because it uses deceit and misleads people into a lie. No court would say, “well you just have to be better at spotting a scam.” No, laws prevent tricking people into a scam. Why is it any different when someone tricks people into a scam version of reality via contrived lies. The intent matters and there should be accountability.

[Winterstorm]

What is happening, Trump is bad. He's horrible. I'm done. Trump is a threat. I'm over it.

[avrilniles]

Chris, I love you, but I am NOT FEELING YOU THESE DAYS😢
