Since the 2020 election a great deal has been written about information, disinformation, and misinformation. Very little attention is being paid to the newest threat in the information wars––omission of the year in online posting dates. We live in the 21st-century age of digitized, computerized information technology. In the beginning, articles posted online followed established journalistic practices, and journalism’s classic 5W + H formula. Articles answered six questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Today, online journalism is eliminating the When. I began asking the question, Why?
For print journalism, the When has two components––the dateline and the actual events described in the article. The dateline refers to when the story was filed or written, not necessarily the dates of events described in the article. Datelines followed the month/day/year date convention, and appeared on the first line of an article before the text.
The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
Big Tech and Big Media are gunning for the Conservative Voice—through their Comment Sections.

We ask only that commenters keep it civil, keep it clean.

I’m often slow to catch on to what’s happening at a macro level, but this has been bothering me for some time.
This article is spot on!
I just have no idea how we beat infinite globalist money.
And evil.
Save direct intervention from God.

Gotta admit this one slipped by me.
Thanks for drawing attention to something that should never have been allowed, much less made the default setting.

You are so right, thank you. It is very frustrating not to have a proper date when looking up information, gee when was that. Your thought and the actions you took are very correct.
