Ahh, if it isn't the guy who thinks opposition to #blacklivesmatter makes you racist.

I'm not a Trump supporter and if I was 'Murican I wouldn't have voted for him. The fact that some people who pre-election were very much in the center or even center-left are now defending Trump shows just how crazy and abrasive the far-left loonies have gotten in the past few months.
That's not an apology.

Ha I called it, the media has cried wolf, and it was about the way agenda was prioritised over facts, and how that was undermining msm credibility and democracy. It was closed, probably because I posted photos of the results of far right Ukrainians bombing Donbas.

So you dont think black lives matter?

That is pretty much textbook racism.

Of course black lives matter. Anyone with half a brain realises that.

The #blacklivesmatter movement is mostly a divisive hate group that spouts false narratives ("Hands Up, Don't Shoot" was based on a completely proven lie) and whose members chant for the murder of police officers. You don't need to support this group to support black rights.

It (the poll)showed that two thirds of srp thought that msm was more fake than alt media. Your message just isn't getting through.
Whilst your 42-17 unscientific poll on an online football forum is compelling, it doesn't show you actually know what fake news is. You don't.

It's not sloppy news, or opinionated news.

It's made up stuff the authour knows is fake, but is highly emotive and very shareable with big twitter/FB icons. It has lots of pop ups which generate a huge amount of revenue. These sites have no journos or newsrooms but have official looking mastheads. The syntax is bizarre with lots of random CAPITALISATION and exclamation points! The font is usually big (considering the shit scared and old readership) with some shit looking photoshop jobs.

There are some liberal ones, but most are conservatives, because conservatives are more prone to being emotionally triggered. Also, they are stupider.

I know what plenty of you get your news from these sites, because they are often cited as sources.

Well the sun arose, albeit a few seconds off schedule, probable anomalous azimuth data... (need a new sextant... but the rudder still functions)
Humans believe what they want to believe. So the notion of alternative facts only has relevance when the "facts" are received, proliferated and disseminated by the swarming masses.
This returns us to Trumps embryonic modus operandi of projectionism.
Alternative facts is the mint new word for the human condition known as projection.
This is the classic situation whereby such mass projection creates either a tidal wave of support or a tidal wave of rebuttal.
It was always going to be the case that when push came to shove the majority perception would dismantle the Trump projection. Because it is too banal and is the work of a career conman. As I knew they would discover one way or another.
It will do damage to America that will take some time to reverse, it will reset some issues, such as gun control, social shit and America's role in the world.
But ultimately it will be a salutary lesson.
It will make it very hard for campaigners like Ryan, pubic rinse, etc to ever continue in grown up politics... thank ****. It also puts America and Americans world over in extreme danger.
Expect Russia to turn some screws... They have an opportunity in the haze of confusion and anarchy to extend sovereignty. NATO is on high alert.

meh

no less compelling than 'real' polls which are generally begin with a certain bias or are simply made up

fake news is a bullshit term. that you are so concerned with its definition is worrying

next you'll be going nuts in regard to what is and what is not an alternative fact

Ha that is one variety of fake news, but there are doubtless other news that fits description of "fake news".

The problem with fake news is people are dismissing it.

The news has always been biased. Look at the yellow journalism that started the Spanish-American War. But the difference is that instead of people understanding the bias, they're instead dismissing the whole content of the article and subsequently the organization. This is due to some orgs (most notably Breitbart) publishing outright lies as fact.

What people need to do is become more aware of editorialising.

But nope, apparently CNN and the NYT are 'fake'.
