The media has completely lost it

[renard_ruse]

Do they really think people are going to believe their latest meme they concocted with the DNC about what they are calling "fake news" (and they do not mean themselves!)?

THIS meme trying to change the subject about media bias is going to restore their credibility?

Of all the bizarre, cockamamy things they could have come up with this, this is the best they could do?

Apparently because they seem to going full speed ahead with this, the irony that they are actually describing themselves notwithstanding.

The ONLY "fake news" is the mainstream media itself. It needs to look in the mirror.

Faux News was ahead of the curve...

 

[QueenLevitra]

I completely agree.

Only Drudge, Breitbart and Stormfront for me from now on.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Yes I think they believe the majority of people know it. I think a great deal of them don't actually care but yes I think they know it.

 

[Ms_Ann]

We non-liberals have been trying to tell you about media bias for decades. I guess you finally get it.

Everyone could tell the Media has long been in the tank for Democrats. That mindset is how Fox News became instantly successful by simply offering an alternative point of view to the monolith that had become the major media outlets.

It was patently obvious that they have become more and more incestuous with the Democrats. You could tell they were colluding because they would all come out with the exact same talking points at the same time that all benefited the Clinton campaign.

Until you read the emails you would assume that that was a whispered word here a little press release there just the usual things that any Corporation or politician does to try to massage the media in their favor. The thinking was well they're already like-minded so it doesn't take much to push them in a particular direction.

the emails showing actual coordination with the DNC and specifically the Clinton campaign makes it abundantly clear that most major media outlets are simply Pravda or Tass for the DNC. They will never be trusted again by anyone. Hardcore party faithful will of course continue to tune in to have their biases confirmed but those outlets will have absolutely no effect on independent voters.

Most of them will go the way of liberal talk radio. They will fail, or have to be propped up at a loss by some True Believer.

Trump TV for me!

You have to remember that all medias job is to scare the shit out of you or morally outraged. What ever you believe in. That is their business model. It's how they make money.

It's a known fact we like to have our beliefs reinforced not challenged. So the news outlet provides that. The one you like is telling the truth.

Pizza gate fake news articles (when there weren't any articles at all) ? I watched/read that from the very beginning as I was reading wikileaks emails. Dubbing it fake news made me believe the theories are actually close to truth, and that I can never believe a fu king thing those bozos principles t ever again.

When this thing broke out, I was reading about the original breaking article about fake news, but it turns out it was using a small sample of stories that carried no real weight in any press outlet. It was actually fake news to advance a storyline.

That seems to be what the modern press amounts to, a storyline based on a belief system searching for an AHA! we told you so...

Maybe Watergate never really happened...........

What do you mean by "this thing"?

This isn't about media bias it's about flat out fake news.

 

[Ms_Ann]

This isn't about media bias it's about flat out fake news.

Resulting from......bias.

 

[LadyFunkenstein]

Which news are you referring to as being fake?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

What do you mean by "this thing"?

The fake news meme. There was, at first, a singular source for it.

Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery — including thousands of botnets, teams of paid human “trolls,” and networks of websites and social-media accounts — echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal hiding potentially fatal health problems and preparing to hand control of the nation to a shadowy cabal of global financiers.

Why did she try to hide it from the press and us and since she carried on with a full schedule on Friday as reported by real clear politics...

When did she see the doctor, or is she lying to cover something more serious lie strokes or Parkinsons.

We have a right to know.

And speaking of honoring her commitments, why has she only now cleared her schedule? Why didn't she follow her doctor's advice? Bill or Chelsea could have stood in for her. People would have been very sympathetic and concerned if she had shared her diagnosis, but once again, given the opportunity to be honest with deplorable us, she decided to act deceitfully.

Nope, no real weight at all.

I am not aware of "fake news" being a meme. I am aware of several major media outlets proclaiming a specific story to be fake news, even though there was no actual news article attached to the story in the first place. Do you know what I am talking about? The origins of the "fake news" propaganda now in WaPo and NYT?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Best example of fake news by the major media.


Ferguson


The media is vested in the fake theory that white cops simply murder peaceful black citizens for no reason what-so-ever, so that was the story they reported on, just like they did with Zimmerman.

The other fake news of more recent vintage was the skewed polling and the subsequent stories about Hillary's inevitability. The other fake news was aimed at a twofold target, serious charges from Trump's past and the robust health and calm dignified and even-tempered nature of Hillary Clinton, the same Hillary who got lit up on election night, verbally abused her team, threw things at them and was in no way, shape or form able to take the stage, so she sent out her Grima Wormtongue...


But to the perpetrators of this fraud, the real fake was the counter reporting from places like FOX, Drudge (which technically does not report but does link to sources outside of the US not so inclined to such blatant bias) and Breitbart.

I really have not been paying attention to that aspect of it, but rather how the typical Hillary voter is treating the storyline in their posts.

I just outlined why above. For any self-respecting journalist out their, talking, or reporting on, fake news only draws attention to themselves and their organization.

You missed a huge underground story that was quashed very quickly with reddit threads deleted, Instagram and Twitter accounts shut down and banned, Google algorithms fucked with and old news articles disappeared before my eyes. Literally. This happened INDAYS. It's fucked up

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yes, it is.

But no more fucked up than our civil servant class using the Leviathan of the Federal Bureaucracy to harass and crush businesses and individuals not on the Democrat team...



... those people might prevent their next raise, promotion or ability to get their children hired on to a government agency.

You clearly have no idea what I am talking about.

ETA: fake news started out to bury a specific story. I just Googled and see it now extends to many other stories, burying the original in the algorithm. I am sick to my stomach.
