As much as you disagree with the concept of elected officials speaking for citizens, it still works that way in America. Facebook comments, random opinions, Russian editorials or news stories, and agenda driven bloggers, are not viewed as official voices and spokespersons for the citizens. What they say has no legal standing or authority. It is just nonsense, opinions, misinformation, etc. with no special or privileged value.Other people who are propagating my facebook friends list....multiple Harney County ranchers and locals, including the ones who organized and hosted the groups that met (and weren't covered by the press) prior to Grasty's pretend community meeting.
