I think that fact will be missed here though
Agreed. Some people will continue to dismiss the blatant omissions and distortions happening daily ... as of no consequence ... even though it is through those omissions and distortions that political agenda is foisted upon an unsuspecting populace.

One should never forget that Pravda, the propaganda outlet for the Soviet Union as well as its largest newspaper, bears the name "Truth" and to this day remains the official journal of the Russian communist party.

I was referring to you actually. There is a difference between a mistake by an editor and deliberate promoting fake news which was rampant against Clinton this election.

I haven't seen Trump supporters decrying the fake news against her. Seems hypocritical.

How many threads are you going to start on fake news?

Sure.

A simple mistake is understandable ... and to be fair it is essentially impossible to get news stories 100% accurate. The problem, however, is that a double standard serves no one well. If the mainstream press is going to loudly rail against "Fake News" then, by golly, let's measure them against that standard as well.

It's not complicated.

I shed no tears for either Clinton or Breitbart News ... both richly deserve, IMHO, what they received.
How many threads are you going to start on fake news?
I wasn't planning on adding any more ...

... unless, of course, another major "Fake News" story comes out.

Breitbart is going to be hurting though - Steve Bannon is on Trump's team.
I'm happy with Breitbart being the official organ for Trump. Everyone knows that already.

I like that a lot better than having multiple news services claim to be unbiased but then spew propaganda non-stop as some have done during the Obama administration - never attempting to hold Obama accountable for his actions.

The story has been corrected. This is what real news organizations do when a mistake is made.

Now, a fake news site will run a story like
MILEY CYRUS DEAD AT THE AGE OF 22
and just leave it there, months later.

There is enough time yet today for one to appear, especially if Trump picks another person to his cabinet the Democrats hate... :doh:

This one cracks me up...

Pro-Lifers Declare “[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] Is Murder: Every Sperm Cell Is A Life”

PROLIFE.jpg

pro-life movement in the United States has long advocated their stance that human life begins at conception and that the human fetus is a person and therefore has a right to live. However, a new argument has taken flight over the last month that is taking the abortion debate to the next level. The variety in opinion on the issue of abortion is reflected in the diverse views of religious groups, but now pro-lifers are declaring “[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] is murder” and they want strict laws against the practice.

“Life begins BEFORE conception. This is why the Catholics do not believe in birth control,” said Rachel Stratt, pro-life activist. “God made men’s sperm for a purpose, and you can just “waste” that purpose by gratifying yourself whenever you want to. Every time you do, you are literally killing thousands of babies! [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] is murder and every sperm cell is a life!”

That's sort of the point of satire.

All "fake news" is satire to me. What's sad is that some people believe it.
