I am curious to get your opinions on your definition of "Fake news".

CNN is a prefect example.

Yesterday after Trumps cabnet briefed the press on what they are doing about Russia meddling in our elections i switched on CNN.

Instantly, they started asking how Trump can call the probe into colussion a witch hunt when his own people say Russia meddled. He doesn't say that Russia didn't meddle, just that the probe is a witch hunt but they ball it all togeather.

Just a few minutes ago, they covered his GREAT job and GDP numbers....for about 4 seconds before they started to bash him about other things. Even something good turns to bashing within 5 seconds, never fails so to me that's a biased station which in turn i call a "fake news station".

Anything written as a op-ed but being put out there as truth. Used to be journalist went after anybody to get the truth on them, exposing the nitty gritty and running the story for the readers to know the truth. Now, they make up stories or have personal ideologies they print as truth, but are lies or a op-ed. The press is DEAD!

Go to www.yahoo.com and read the "news"! 90% is Flat out BS to make you keep clicking so they get paid, and the rest is slanted to fit the posters agenda.

I was out at the farm this morning and my mom had a news channel on (don’t know which one)and they were talking about the meddling and had sounds bites of Trump saying “we had a great meeting” injected in it. IMO, countries have been trying to influence elections for many years, if there so darn concerned about it, why aren’t they on the news everyday demanding a way to fix it and eleminate it. They report all these other countries are making fun of us because our President just happens to be a brash and not beat around the political correct tree type of person. Yet the media has been crying for over a year about this meddling. Instead of saying “hey we have a problem that has happened, how are we going to fix it. If asked, the citizens of other countries are probably laughing at our media more so than our President, truth be told. Doubt they will report that though.

Comey goes on TV and reads a laundry list of Hildabeast violations and then says he will do nothing about it but others would of been prosecuted for the same actions.

Most of the MSM says he said, "she did nothing wrong"!

You can tell it's fake when you see their lips moving.

Media has given their integrity away and use their position to influence their agendas.

Real news is dead it's all opinions not based on facts, even the old timers have embraced the loose style of todays news to stay relevant, just a bunch of spoiled children whining about everything they don't like the truth has nothing to do with it they ignore it at will.

Constantly bashing Trump, his family, his associates no matter the good things he is doing for this country and constantly praising the democrats, leftist, Obama and their cohorts no matter what trash comes out of their mouths is called fake news.

Anything that starts with a line of "I READ ON FACEBOOK".

Hidden agenda professionally broadcast to brainwash anyone with an IQ less than 110

When the remains of our soldiers came back from Korea,
abc spent 24 seconds reporting it, cbs and nbc didn't mention it.
There absolutely shouldn't be left wing or right wing news agencies,
they should all be omnipotent period.

So looking at the posts and trying to cook down the definitions as best I can here is what the results are so far.

Biased=fake (7 votes so far)

Op-ed or opinion pieces= fake (1 vote)

All news= fake news (1 vote)

Social media = fake news (1 vote)


Biased news seems to be the top issue at this point. My question is shouldn't biased news be called "biased news" vs "fake news"? If biased news equals fake news then that means any biased news is fake news. Right or left. Fox is a known right biased organization as much as NPR is biased left. So if NPR is fake, then FOX is fake also if biased news=fake news.

If we try to say this particular (insert your favorite) news is biased in a direction I agree with so it isn't fake, then truth means nothing. Truth is relative to the viewer. How can a society function when we as people reject information as "fake" when it doesn't fit our preconceived (less informed) view? Shouldn't we call biased news "biased news" rather than fake? Or opinion pieces should be called 'opinion pieces"?

All major news services are pushing an agenda so a person could argue that all major news service news is essentially fake.

There is no unbiased reporting that I know of. Fox is just as bad as cnn just different or at least they were in 2008 when I discarded tv service.

Biased, truth twisting/half truth giving, agenda driven, Obama was the best president ever, Clinton is innocent.

News is not news anymore, it's the opinion of who ever is talking.

Lol

While we are here:

Have you seen where they are actually making Trump derangement syndrome a sickness via lawyers? No joke! After multiple attacks on Trump supporters. Lawyers are actually using it as a defense!

whoopi goldburg has it

Watch what happens after this upcoming election.. If things go as they look like they will.. Russian collusion and Illegal aliens will be at the back of the line of things to whine about !!
Anybody remember the Dreamers !!! It's all emotion based and whatever they think will stir us to fight each other instead of keep an eye on the them . I'm absolutely tickled to death with our president. At the very least he's doing something for the country instead of stealing and bankrolling himself instead !!
I saw last night that the unemployment rate was the lowest in 18 years !!! Why isn't that the top story !!!! Instead it was a short one liner and then gone.. That's the real sad state of things now, we don't even get the good news when it happens..

Any "news" story that begins with: "unnamed sources say that....." is fake. I hear this phrase quite frequently, primarily on MSPMS, CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS.
