Classy.

It's your standard for "nonfakenews" though

The first ammendment is in danger! we need to defend it at all cost!

lest we become like Europe where people go to prison for having the "wrong" thoughts.

Were the Dem debates "fake news" since CNN was feeding the questions to Crooked?

Are any of you capable of staying on topic with anything at all? It doesn't appear to be the case.

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.

Most of this board did that in 2012 and they don't seem to suffer any consequences from it. There was a legitimate reason to believe that Hillary should have won.

But that's for another topic.

And why is LSURussian still such an annoying count?

You were the one spouting the fake news that Trump had no chance of winning.

No, not even close.

You're wrong on both points. The SINGLE POSTER who came anywhere close to doing something similar has become basically a punch line here.

Dude almost everyone on the board was claiming Romney was going to win it. You can deny it if you want. Would only show that you either have a poor memory or you're completely dishonest.

A "town hall debate" where one candidate was given the questions in advance by the hosting network (CNN) is fake News, which is the topic of discussion.

That rigged debate was as fake as the Democratic Primary.

So what are you talking about? Bad polling or so called fake news?

I'm referring to the obvious tabloid stuff that says things that are just ridiculously stupid like the Pope endorsing Trump.

I'm not even referring to the more well known right wing publications like Breitbart. I don't consider that fake news. I consider it slanted news just like CNN.

CNN isn't slanted. It is blatantly fake.

MSNBC is slanted.

Fox is slanted.

There has always been crap like that in tabloids, message boards, and social media. When did this become "news".

It's funny you mention the Pope. Even he commented on fake news. Why are liberals afraid of Reddit?

I agree, the polls with D+10 being published by "real news" outlets immediately following the debates were obviously fake as a mofo.
