It certainly isn’t newspapers. They are no different than the other sources except perhaps more pretentious.

I’m not sure when or why we started using the phrase ‘fake news’ as a replacement for ‘blatant lies’.

New York Post.

New York Post.

Nope you got that all wrong. What is proven fact is that nearly every CONservative politician and national figure whines to fake news outlets (namely Faux “news”) about genuine, factual news stories critical of them.

Obammy, huh? And that’s not racist? Coulda fooled me.

Errrmmmm…it wasn’t a retraction, Hen3ry.

Editor’s Note: The Washington Post on Nov. 24 published a story on the work of four sets of researchers who have examined what they say are Russian propaganda efforts to undermine American democracy and interests. One of them was PropOrNot, a group that insists on public anonymity, which issued a report identifying more than 200 websites that, in its view, wittingly or unwittingly published or echoed Russian propaganda. A number of those sites have objected to being included on PropOrNot’s list, and some of the sites, as well as others not on the list, have publicly challenged the group’s methodology and conclusions. The Post, which did not name any of the sites, does not itself vouch for the validity of PropOrNot’s findings regarding any individual media outlet, nor did the article purport to do so. Since publication of The Post’s story, PropOrNot has removed some sites from its list.

First you convince them the news is fake and government is bad. How could they believe a real news source now, when their alt-right tells them media bad? The only was to come together is for the rest of us to lower our standards. This is Trump’s America.

And these same “news consumers” want to sue the utility company after they hit the pole while checking their phones.

Sometimes it’s hard to know.
