Jonathon Freedland of the Guardian wrote this article titled, From Peppa Pig to Trump, the web is shaping us. It’s time we fought back, and he starts off by saying about the horror of a children's cartoon which parents might leave their kids in front of while they get on with stuff thinking it's a good way to keep them quite. But the cartoon, he says, may have been unofficially digitally altered to drive up lucrative ratings and could contain disturbing images like cartoon characters having their heads chopped off. Now this topic about the content on the internet keeps turning up at the Guardian and yet for over 20 years children have been able to access porn on their mobile/ cell phones and there has hardly been a mention about in the media, but now, all of a sudden, what we can view on

Freedland eventually says this in the below quote and we get the real reason for the article - MSM is trying to soften us up to having the internet censored.
Jonathon Freedland says -
Perhaps this political point is illuminated best by politics. There’s much focus, rightly, on Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, with Facebook’s admission, for instance, that Moscow-funded messages were seen by 150 million Americans. But such enormous reach was only possible because of the way Facebook works, an algorithm designed to “maximise engagement”, showing people nuggets of news that they are likely to pass on – even when that “news” is bogus and fact-free.
That was the system those infamous Macedonian teenagers realised they could exploit for cash – spreading the lie that Pope Francis had endorsed Donald Trump – and which meant that in the last three months of the US campaign, the biggest fake election stories generated more engagementthan the biggest, and true, stories produced by the likes of the New York Times and the Washington Post. It’s the same system the Trump campaign itself used to such great effect, with its micro-targeted ads aimed at specific demographic groups, which were then shared and shared again.
Now it only took me a few seconds to find the the Pope endorses Trump article that Jonathon Freedland is referring to. Here's an excerpt -
We’ve received many questions asking whether Pope Francis has endorsed Donald Trump, and a few asking if the actor Tom Hanks has voiced his support for Trump. Neither has.
Let’s start with the pope.
Pope Francis’ supposed endorsement of Trump originated on the satirical website WTOE 5 News, with the headline “Pope Francis Shocks World, Endorses Donald Trump for President, Releases Statement.” In the bogus statement, the pope is purported to comment on the FBI investigation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, writing, “The FBI, in refusing to recommend prosecution after admitting that the law had been broken on multiple occasions by Secretary Clinton, has exposed itself as corrupted by political forces that have become far too powerful.”
In the made-up article, the pope then goes on to acknowledge that he is not endorsing Trump as the pope, but rather “as a concerned citizen of the world.”
WTOE 5 News owns up to being a fake news website in its “about” page. “WTOE 5 News is a fantasy news website,” it says. “Most articles on wtoe5news.com are satire or pure fantasy.”So in other words, this article turned up on a comedy site where everyone is told that its articles are satirical, fun, and comical . The MSM is being mischievous.
Now all governments know that their citizens will only fight in a just war and so for centuries they have lied to us using propaganda to demonize the enemy, but now, for the first time in history, people can easily find the truth online and so this is a real threat to the ruling elite.
