Fake news started with 60 minutes 1hr segment on the fur trade and trapping. Fake news has been around a long time. Just more of it. And lots of it.

Here's another good artical that points out the "fake news" ignoring the obvious, that Fox news has been reporting on for over a year.

Sooner or later, they will have to deal with this, i just can't wait to see how CNN and the others break into it after avoiding it for this long. The libs will crack when they do, lol.

Fake news is great: You can present your opinions as being fact and can pick and choose words to slant things any way you want.

Note: I edited to change the period I had at end of the first sentence to a colon. That was to guard against fake news. To make it so that if anyone wanted to quote just the first sentence they could not do so without bastardizing the punctuation.

I listen to a few minutes each of CNN, FoxNews and MSNBC each morning just to see what spin is being put on what. This morning Joe Scarborough was all aghast because Trump offers a 15% discount on golf balls to federal employees at one of his golf courses.

When one of the talking heads in the panel pointed out that it didn't seem like a very big deal, the rest quickly assured her that it was indicative of the rampant corruption that has plagued this administration.

I was laughing when I turned it off. The really sad part is, there are millions of Americans who believe this crap. Some of them are even T-man members. It boggles my mind!


Eh...wot?

It's gonna get good if we keep the house Lugnut. Not sure how many have been fired yet for rigging the investigations, but not near enough!!

Goes all the way to the top of the last administration too.

Most of what is called news has little to do with the presentation of all known facts related to the topic being covered.
What is being passed off as news by most stations is little different than sensationalized, self-promoting, opinion pieces.

With the rise of personalities like rush limbaugh, media outlets saw that there was an eager audiance that would suck up all the venom spewed by such folks and it led to "news" programming that is meant to appeal to the extremist on both sides of politics.
Many listeners have become so wrapped up in their listening that it has become more like brainwashing than being informed. It has served to further divide Americans and has many of us looking to find reasons we are different rather than trying to find things that should bring us together for the good of this great country.

I agree, the liberal house of corrupt cards has only begun to fall.

Grackle, why are your monologues always skewed hard to the left? You single out Rush Limbaugh for spewing venom but conveniently forget to mention the likes of Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews, Al Sharpton, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and dozens and dozens more on the left that do the exact same thing. The right has relatively few prominent commentators because the left owns the media. Yet you focus on one of the few?

lug, you read into what is posted what you will. you conveniently over looked the fact that I said rush was one of the first personalities to gain a wide audience for a show such as his, and also that I said BOTH sides of the political isle followed. Maybe you didn't notice that rush was on the scene before the others you mentioned.

The far left AND the far right seem to have been brainwashed to a point that does will not allow themselves to see the damage that is done by extremist views that place all Americans with views that differ from their own as enemies....Maybe that is why you read into post things that are not there??

I watch many different "news" outlets. None are further from being fair OR balance than fox and msnbc. Of course many viewers of each have been drawn in to a point where they are blind to it.

It's comical to see the way some will cheer for their favorite "news" broadcasting station and politician the way others cheer for their favorite sports team.

It's also comical to watch you try to avoid the investors daily link, not a Fox link i posted.

They are coming around, may take more people getting fired for people like you to believe what Fox has been reporting for over a year, but it's coming!

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.


Countries have been meddling in each other elections for a long time. Obama meddled in Israel's elections trying to stop Netanyahu's re-election. America has tried to influence the outcome in a number of other country's elections in the past.

You always say that when nothing could be farther from the truth. You are correct about NBC. But FOX is the most balanced of them all. While it's true FOX leans farther to the right than the others who don't lean right at all. The difference is that FOX also has commentators that definitely lean left such as former Alan Combs, Juan Williams, Kirsten Powers, former D-Sen Bye, Geraldo Rivera, the guy from the Daily Beast, etc. Name some right-leaning commentators on the other stations. You can't because they only lean left.

The guy reporting on CBS the other day reporting on them neighbors of Adam's down in NM living in the desert at the end he said there was no proof of the kids being trained to be school shooters? Why would he say that except to enhance the story more then it was and to plant the seed.

Yep that's when you realize everything you were taught growing up was a lie and with the way the DOJ is run that is scary too!

Amazing what one inept person can screw up in just 8 years!

Mike Wallace being the only exception I've seen there, fox only reports what they believe makes the far right look good. Their news is so slanted to the right that anyone who uses it as the sole source for information is as close to uninformed as one can be.

I think when donald said he could shoot somebody and get away with it the people at fox(and many of their viewers) were the type he was talking about.

"The guy reporting on cbs", this guy works fast! It sounds like he has all the information, completed his investigation and has it all wrapped up ahead of Law Authorities. This is typical for a "Fake News" network...
