This may or may not partially disprove what you're selling: I don't believe you.

Fake News defines what is "accurate" and conducts poll based on flawed premise.

Cant wait to hear this breathlessly covered ad nauseam instead of the economy.

WaPo stories are generally accurate.

However they taint facts with innuendo and inferences of greater nefarious things all the time especially on Trump.

Those negative Trump innuendos and inferences make WaPo fake news.

tell us again what % of polling said Hillary was going to win. Tell us again what % of polling said brexit was a no go. Your polling is as accurate as big ears' words.

Perhaps President Trump’s associates should place that data point in his daily briefing packet so that he can brag about it. There’s precedent for that, after all:


Snarky bias showing a bit?

Trump eating two scoops of ice cream does not qualify as news.

And what percentage of Poliboard liberals believe a President can be impeached because we disagree with his policies?


I don't know, but I dont think that so it's at 0% so far.

Reminds me of a joke.

An LSU fan on vacation in Gulf Shores comes across a dog attacking a child. The LSU fan shoots the dog and potentially saves the child's life. Turns out the dog belonged to the same family as the child. A news reporter hears of the story and comes to interview the LSU fan. After hearing the shooter was an LSU fan decides to title the story...

LSU fan shoots beloved family pet.

It's accurate, but I'd still call it fake news.

The other day WaPo was used when it was a pro right article and no one had an issue with it. I fully expect today it will be considered a fake news source
