"Fake News"... Is this the Left's new buzzword?
Posted on 12/8/16 at 4:20 pm

Clinton
Obama
Biden
Pope Francis
Global Elites
MSM
all slowly pushing this new narrative of "Fake News" is the Left's way of restructuring its grasp upon what the MSM spews out to the masses?
Is this Clinton's last ditch effort to fall back and save herself if AG elect Sessions chooses not to go after her and the Foundation?
What the hell determines "Fake News"... It so damn obvious these people are trying to control the masses

Yes
Just like "dark" was the word of the day after the RNC
Journalists coordinate on this stuff

Probably, but it appears that calling fake news buzzwords is on the verge of becoming buzzwords too.

I think that more people are getting their news from places such as the papers, TV, & traditional websites. They don't have as much control over those people. Isn't that the first thing an attorney wants to do? Discredit the source? Or at least twist the story into something it's not?
Alot of people get (or are starting to get) their "News" from social media
Which is all owned by huge left wing donors
and we are starting to see them intervene and censor certain subjects that might be viewed as "conservative"

There's a shock.

Fake news has been on my mind also but I think perpetrators are ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,AP,UP...

Sounds like the Left is starting to realize what they've been putting out in press.

Right, their crusade against "fake news" right now is either projection, or more likely them continuing to try to shape the narrative and set themselves up as the end all be all as it pertains to reporting.

They had to do something after being outed as shills during the election.

I remember when fake news broke the John Edwards scandal (that real news buried) and real news fabricated the GWB ANG Memos.

It started on CNN with Wikileaks and the "it's illegal for you to read that, we will tell you what they say".
That was when the "fake news" word began

Just came back from Seattle and "Fake News" is what they are saying took down Clinton.
At least the people I know out there mentioned this. I did not engage and changed the subject as I was on a vacation of sorts.

The problem is that the mainstream media (the non-fake news folks) are really a one sided news organization.
Maybe we should get #onesidednews trending. When these talking faces only mention news from one angle is that really any worse or different than something published on a "fake news" site?

I had a colleague bitching about this yesterday. I asked him which news outlets are reporting fake news and his response was Facebook.

This is how they maintain the Narrative. In other words, Believe Our Lies because they come from Us.

Projection is one of the main strategies of the left. Always accusing their opposition of the very things they themselves are engaged in.
