Certainly you realize that there were a lot of fake news stories floating around social media right?

No, Powerman, I take everything at face value, from the Clintons being old-school Babylonian Moloch worshippers to Trump being literally Hitler.

No, just like I don't dispute "climate change".

I dispute the left hijacking it for obvious political and fascist reasons.

Surely you are smart enough to distinguish....

Eh. Never mind.

Do you dispute that the MSM were largely for Hillary and routinely slanted the reporting in her favor with hysterical overreactions to every fart in the wind from Trump and expecting us to believe she really did have pneumonia?

No

My statements here in no way should be taken as saying that the mainstream media is credible.

Can you not see how that may have a bad outcome down the road?



Agreed. I don't like fake news and always call it out when I see it, but to revoke it would kill the internet and free speech as a whole.

i don't know how much longer the trolling can last but it's funny watching it play out I must admit.

Agreed

Wasn't Trump the one in favor of opening up libel laws though?

The "fake news" news stories are actually fake news because all our news is fake, and this is just one sides attempt to delegitimize the other and monopolize media and destroy free speech.

I don't dispute it but I think it's hypocritical for the MSM to talk about it when they perpetuate 90% of it and don't fact check anything before they run with it.
