Original Note:
Obama did not change any law making it legal to “LIE”. There were indeed laws related to propaganda. The claim could just be a misunderstanding of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013. This false claim about Obama has existed since ~2013. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/aug/23/facebook-posts/no-obama-didnt-make-it-legal-media-outlets-purpose/ https://apnews.com/article/archive-fact-checking-7064410002 https://www.factcheck.org/2019/10/obama-didnt-authorize-lying-by-the-media/ https://checkyourfact.com/2020/10/29/fact-check-barack-obama-law-media-purposely-lie-american-people/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Propaganda_Act_of_1940
