CNN was not only feeding questions to a specific candidate that they backed....they also report and discuss things like missing Malaysian Airlines Jets flying into black holes or that Trump was going to install concentration camps for homosexuals.

CNN isn't the target. Brietbart is.

CNN is the epitome of fake news.

Not false news.

Blatantly fake.

What you wound up with was a core group of Americans that didn't mind one bit driving false narratives. The deplorables got in the gutter and didn't give a frick.

We probably have PE Clinton if it wasn't for the likes of Bannon, Jones, Dobbs, Hannity, tCTH or even all the fake memes.

The left smacked a hornet's nest and had no idea what to do afterwards. Now they are standing there all swollen up and looking stupid.

Does anyone remember what real news was? It started out like the "Jimmy Olsen" true blue facts. But then the papers got bought out by the Hollywood studios, which got bought out by corporations, which got bought out by...

Sure. Plenty of false narratives and bias in the MSM. Not disputing that.


Then you must know the vast majority here know of "fake news" everywhere. Fake polls. Fake photo's and fake politicians right?

Its the narrative be shoved down our throats and calls from many like today from the loser HRC for the congress to "take action" and surely this worries you as it does us no?

Probably a lot more fake news that benefited Trump though


It depends on the meaning of "is".

At his point what difference does it make?

I've turned over all the Emails.

The IRS shenanigans are the result of a rogue employee in Cincinnati.

Today, Obama said that he wasn't aware that ISIS,"The JV Team" was a potential problem. Then a clip was shown of President Bush, prior to the transition, warning Obama of the dangers of removing troops from Iraq.

Was that fake news. Who did it benefit?

There have been fake news stories floating out of both sides of the aisle for years. It wasn't new with the election.

What people dispute is the idea that somehow, this was a uniquely right wing thing.

The left also, as alfrickingways, has taken a small truth and decided that it alone gets to determine what is and isn't fake news.

frick, I'd rather have fake news everywhere than have some self appointed nannies seeking to root it out.

Here's an idea.

Don't get your news from fricking social media.

You obviously are not smart enough to see the real problem that people here are discussing.

It's funny to see people who were so completely and consistently wrong about something - I'm not talking a single opinion or idea that proved to be incorrect, but a constant unending barrage of definitive declarations of how right they were so sure they were and how wrong everyone else was - pretend to just not miss a beat and launch right back into lecturing everyone else on being wrong about something else and being so sure that they are right about alll these other things NOW.
