Debate Now Discussion about Fake News.

[WelfareQueen]

I’ve asked this directly to some people and they refused to respond. So I thought I’d give the topic it’s own thread and see where it goes. I’m guessing not far.

The Rules.

1). A simple yes or no answer will suffice. Feel free to expound to your heart’s content.
2). Please do not say, “Yes (or no) but what about _________________? Are THEY fake news? The thread is about Infowars.com. I bring it up because it seems to be our President’s site of choice for information.
3). I thank you in advance for your input.

Here is the thesis:

Is INFOWARS a fake news site?

Govt Insider Confirms Israel’s Role In 9/11 Attacks!

9/11: CIA Likely Built Remote-Controlled Commercial Jets in Aircraft Boneyard

Trump: Bush Knew In Advance 9/11 Was Coming

A simple “yes” or “no” answer please.

Here....this might help.




16 Fake News Stories Reporters Have Run Since Trump Won

Talking about "fake news" involving one outlet doesn't seem fair, when it would be hard to find some that don't produce bullshit.

In a nutshell, when has a liberal ever been fair?

its both sides. People will counter a CNN article with an info wars. Whats the difference?

One difference is this.

Here is the headline from INFOWARS:

Govt Insider Confirms Israel’s Role In 9/11 Attacks!

The “government insider” he is citing is Steve Pieciznik (sp). The words “government insider” would indicate to me, at least, that the guy is in the government. Right? Wikipedia says that Steve hasn’t been in the federal government since 1988 at the latest. It doesn’t say “forever government insider” or any such thing.

You may find that in a CNN by-line but at no point does Jones explain that this guy hasn’t been an “insider” in over 3 decades.

So they lie and mislead like all the rest, but you believe everything the rest prints.

Fake News for Donald Trump is anything uncomplimentary to him.

If it's true it's not fake. He even said so.

OP, please ask readers to define "Fake News" in no more than eleven words.

Alex Jones is a troll.

No, it's clear to those who want to see it, that most of the media print crap against him. If you don't think all those "undisclosed sources" are a problem, then you are part of the problem.

 

[Rambunctious]

The good news is the lying media has gone so far over the top on Trump that the people have finally seen who is the real liar in the room.

Not as fake as CNN. No extortion on private citizens yet. Also, they don't pretend to be unbiased.
