AS I think about this, I think it was Lincoln who said you can fool some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of people all the time

The litmus test is already in. The election. Now we know where everyone's allegiance lies.
MSM went all in. Now just tune in and listen to their vitriol for a man that hasn't even taken office yet.

All about propping up a dying entity by bashing the threat that is leaving you behind.

North Korea: "China is fake communism."

Big 12: "SEC is fake football."

Willie Nelson: "Taylor Swift is fake Country." (OK, that one is true.)

This is how the left will attempt to control discussions and news harmful to their cause on social media platforms.

This is clearly about censorship.

It is undeniably a problem that effects both sides. Remember this jewel that showed up on your newsfeed a few times?



Well he never said that. I don't know how to hold them accountable without fricking the First Amendment, but I do think people who spread this online should be called out on their bullshite and not give them a pass.

Meh...I thought the same thing 20 years ago.
That being said, it was a fairly accurate evaluation. If it wasn't true, the liberals would never have gotten as far as they have.

How so? I would guess that if you asked 100 random people what "Pizzagate" is, 97% would gaze back at you with a blank and puzzled stare. The debate is over. The science is settled. Don't be a denier!

It reminds me of the line by Anette Benning in The American President, "the people believe what I tell them to believe." It's liberal arrogance and cynicism, at its peak.

Problem is, they think we're dumber than we really are. We aren't geniuses, to be sure, but this kind of narrative control is glaringly obvious - moreso now that there are legions of intelligent people who can explain the situation to the rest of the people.

I use the term too. It's my buzzword to explain the shite coming from the major (DNC controlled) news agencies.

We get fake news talking about fake news.

May as well dilute it by pointing out left wing fake news....since they are obviously using this as a guise to shut out news that they don't want discussed.
