The death of this country will be from fake news

Look at this thread that’s anchored on the OT LINK
The OP gets his news from a Twitter page called “OSINTdefender” that says a US military base has been attacked in Syria.
Except the picture included was from 2022 from a reverse image search. And no news outlet has reported it.
And someone also decided to sticky it to the top of the board at first.
It took 5 seconds to see it was bullshite. But look at how many idiots replied thinking it was real. We’re fricked

Does Reuters count as a news source?
It does for some, anyway.
Reuters: US troops attacked in Syria, no initial reports of injuries

Women's suffrage was the death blow

Everytime anyone posts “news” from that region here, I go to Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel to see what’s real and what’s fake.

Don't forget Trump was "Scared by loud noise" according to the MSM. All news is fake news at this point.

Don’t pretend the legacy media isnt fake as hell too. They’re much more dangerous considering their reach and “reputability.” They had half the country pushing bullshite propaganda like pee tapes and Hunter’s laptop being Russian disinformation. They spouted so many lies during Covid it was tough to keep up with them. frick your fake concern

We survived the Pulitzer/Hearst era so I think we will be fine. People really don't care about facts, they believe what they want to believe.

They are the arbiters of truth and justice.

Kind of like Russian collusion I guess. Or the “safe and effective” vaccine.

Not at all. I don’t fully trust any news outlet and neither should anyone else. But that doesn’t mean you should blindly trust random arse Twitter accounts

People have no idea how bad news was in the Yellow Press era or even what the Yellow Press was. You are fighting a losing battle, my obtuse brother.

To be fair......
OsintDefender is usually pretty good with their info, and when they are wrong they usually admit it. You can't really say that much anymore.

The death of this country would come from poons like you being the majority. But fortunately this country has plenty of Baws left.

Fake news has lead the way in media and journalism for generations. We just know it's fake now. Thank Trump for pulling the curtain back.
