Yes, there's "fake news" sites which write articles with no basis in fact which often get shared on social media. Most of the time they are extremely obvious. The MSM is trying to lump in any independent media outlet that goes against their narrative together with these bullshit social media stories. They are two separate things.
The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Evidently not to a lot of people reading them.
I just realised what it says in the background about his head
Also..........
What a truly nasty vindictive prick he is too. More concerned with publically humiliating Romney than getting on with the job in hand. Pathetic.
And.........
Paul Krugman is a washed up hack who writes for an insignificant rag that's losing readers by the day. Nobody reads his column. SAD! Or something similar in 3.......2................1................................
Mitt Romeny could have the last laugh...
(very unlikely, I know)
They are extremely obvious to you and me, is my point. Legit independent media outlets like TruePundit are not the same thing as actual "fake news".
Perhaps. I've just had a look at it and it doesn't look as obviously awful as Breitbart does. Still though, certain news outlets are far more reliable than some small back-alley internet ones, and there's a reason for that in that they've been around for a long time and have built stellar reputations over a number of years. That doesn't mean they should be followed mindlessly in cases where they do make a mistake...but I'll continue to believe the Washington Post or another similar outlet is far, far more reliable than 'truepundit' or 'conspiracybeacon' or 'altmedia' or whoever else is out there.
The exact phrasing people used to describe a potential Trump win. So, the year is not over yet and there may be one or two surprises awaiting us.
No way. There will be riots..
Nice surprises don't happen to the left. We are like Jewish kids at Christmas when it comes to these sorts of luck.
The hemorrhoid cherry on six tier shit cake. I watched some smart arse last night on the Chris Hayes Bernie in Trumpland and he said when trump said he would drain the swamp he was talking about the DC elites and politicians. I laughed because even though these dumbfecks voted for trump to change Washington they more likely voted for the republican incumbents right down the ballot.
They don't seem to realize that it's corporations that employ insiders to lobby and write legislation. Republicans have controlled the House since 2010 and abused the fillabuster until they took control of the Senate in 2012. Yet they voted them back in. I doubt they know anything about how their lives are being fecked on a state level either. Blue states do far better then red states. Red states with democratic governors do much better by their citizens then states with republican governors.
Why do they not understand that the policy they vote for hurts them the most. Losing homes through bankruptcy because of their overpriced crappy health insurance. Their children developing life consuming illness due to pollution in there community from lack of regulation. Being scammed at every turn because of a lack of consumer financial protection. Lost jobs due to massive corporations dictating the economy. Woman losing control of their own bodies. Foreign governments meddling in their elections but it's ok because the meddling helped there party win in a system they called absolutely corrupt up until 8pm on Election Day.
These people are fecking crazy and for the future of this nation I hope their kids realize that for their families and state to prosper it needs to function more like a blue state and not fecking Kansas, the wizard of oz was right, risk certain death to get out of that feckhole because you're future is bleak.
This shirt for sale illustrates my point, saw this on a few people over the last few months. Do they not realize people are appalled at their ignorance, it used to be a laugh for me but when their champion gets elected to the highest office despite getting nearly three million less votes and their disgusting party still keeps control of congress while losing seats and national races by a few million of votes just does it for me. I'm ready to fight and fight hard.
I mentioned in a post yesterday I was thinking of moving to the west coast under refugee status but speaking to the wife last night on how we make a difference we discussed moving to Texas. It's going to be a nice shade of purple soon and a difference can be made. Without Texas the republicans could never win a national election unless they put forth a reasonable candidate that doesn't have a burden of Palin/Paul on the ticket. I would really like to see a moderate republican (if any still exist) and a moderate democrat on the one ticket, that would really test the voters of this country, a chance to work together for the benefit of the nationor party loyalty. I kind of know where the red states stand on this one.

These people are just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Breitbart isn't "fake news" either. Why would you think the Washington Post is far more reliable than Brietbart? They've been proven to be colluding with the DNC.
It posted an anti-climate change article the other week. I'd say that's pretty close to fake news...but if you genuinely think the WP is on the same level as Breitbart I think we'll struggle to agree on this one at all.
I don't want to get into a debate about climate change, but climate change skepticism is not "fake news". I don't think they are on the same level, I think the Washington Post is far worse.
Good grief.
When Breibart gets a Pullitzer, or reports on something as meaningful as Watergate, you let me know.
Skepticism isn't really in the news category, it's more opinion. Being skeptical about climate change is mind-numbingly stupid on so many levels by the way. Objectively even.
It is quite literally fake news. I remember a study which tracked the overwhelming majority of these stories back to corporate money. It might be the best and most easily identifiable form of propaganda around.
If they even tried to do that then the Republican party would be officially done besides major riots everywhere.
I'm talking about now, not 40 years ago.
Part of why certain news organisations are lauded is inherently to do with the reputations they build.
Their reputation has now been destroyed thanks to Wikileaks.
Tillerson appointment may not happen. Pressure is on.
They literally won a Pulitzer this year.
Can't make this crap up....
I can tell you that at least for people who stake money based on information (investment community), whilst traditional outlets have been under pressure because other outlets sometimes get the facts quicker, something in the WSJ, NYT, FT, WaPo (rare because more political reporting) that says 'multiple sources' is still treated with a lot more confidence than anything else, as far behind the scenes or yet unofficial information. So the reputation is still there.
Yet he still flies everywhere in an old expensive plane to go home and sleep in an apartment covered in gold. This is the people voters despised in 2012 but because this country is full of star feckers and can't distinguish between reality and "reality" tv we are all getting screwed.
Even with a Pulitzer win?
Pulitzer has a political agenda. I prefer to use actual e-mails showing collusion with the DNC as evidence of their reliability.
Not nearly enough critical thinking in this thread, loads of confirmation bias..
Wait how did wikileaks destroy WaPo again? They still seem to be putting out papers to my knowledge.
I think it's more that you have an agenda here, to be honest. No one's denying the DNC's corruption but Wikileaks deliberately held back on Trump and the Republicans.
WaPo is up there with the New York Times as far as US news goes. Them having links with the DNC trying to get good material does not discredit them.
Ffs
It's fecking wiki leaks that has destroyed their reputation, they have become a vessel for an authoritarian regime and if Assange doesn't take a stand on the horrible things Putin is involved with then impartiality is dead with wiki leaks.
Everyone has a bias. The Washington Post isn't not only biased but was actually working together with the DNC along with CNN, Bloomberg, ABC, CBS etc.
Yup....the ignore list got just added to
Irwin what the feck are you on about? If you are coming from a right wing perspective on this then you have some fecking cheek.
