re: Poll: 42% of Republicans Believe Accurate – But Negative – Stories Qualify as Fake News

These surveys are often super biased and write questions that lead to the desired responses. Anybody who's ever studied statistics or data can tell you this.

That said, you can double that percentage of the republicans on this board. Just last night Hail posted a shitty fake meme about Sanger w a totally made up quote, 45 upvotes & 4 downvotes. A couple posts later I actually called him out, made it clear she never actually said that, 11 down votes & 1 upvote (although I was kind of snarky).

This poll is hitting on some real truth in our country (on both sides), the truth is now something you can google search until you find it in a form that you like. Anything else? people call it fake news.

It's a dangerous trend in my opinion, doesn't benefit anyone except those in the media industry. It's creating an even bigger political divide that probably shouldn't be there.
