Did they have pseudo legal authority to do it?
The National Defense authorization act (NDAA 2012)
created the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) which is an independent agency of the United States government.
According to its website, its mission is to "inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy."
Hillary Clinton was on this board at the time of Sandy Hook, while she was Secretary of State.
This law empowers the government to legally propagandize the American people.
Why would the Congress create and approve this bill, which was signed into law by Obama, if they didn't plan to use it?
Have we ever actually seen any "fake" news in the media?
They don't need to "get away" with it… it's legal.
“National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has an amendment added that negates the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 (SMA) and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987.”
“The amendment empowers the State Department and Pentagon to utilize all forms of media against the American public for the sake of coercing US citizens to believe whatever version of the truth the US government wants them to believe. All oversight is removed with Amendment 114. Regardless of whether the information disseminated is truthful, partially truthful or completely false bears no weight.”
“Repealing the Smith-Mundt Act allows the direct deployment of these tactics on the American public.
Information Operations activities are undertaken to shape the essential narrative of a conflict or situation and thus affect the attitudes and behaviors of the targeted audience and equates descriptions of combat operations with standard marketing strategies. With the NDAA 2012 in its current form, the State Department and Pentagon can go beyond manipulating mainstream media outlets and directly disseminate campaigns of misinformation to the U.S. public. Successful wars require domestic acceptance.”

“The Sandy Hook shooting occurred just days after Sen. Rand Paul sent out an alert that the U.N. was set to pass the final version of the Small Arms Treaty, supported by Obama the day after election.
Part of the treaty bans the trade, sale and ownership of all semi-automatic weapons … like the one Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and 6 adults.
The "Batman shooting" in Aurora, Colo., also happened to coincide with the same time as negotiations of the U.N. Small Arms Treaty.
The timing is impeccable.”
“…Through the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act the US government has the legal regulation to use propaganda against foreign audiences and American citizens. The intention is to sway public opinion by using television, radio, newspapers, and social media targeting American and foreign targets in controlled psy-ops or perception management…”
Psy-Ops and DARPA
“…DARPA’s new ultrasonic neural interface devices can frame information as narratives which shape, explain, and make sense of data. Cognitive computers themselves can also do this – creating news articles from pooled data with no human being involved. What used to be called propaganda is now called “strategic communications” that tell a stories or create narrative networks. DARPA is focused on creating counter-narratives, or stories they believe will counteract the effects of radicalization.”
