take NOTHING off this site as the TRUTH: and they (DNC/leftwing) have bought up MANY sites on the Internet. so most (leftwing sites) take with a grain of salt

snip:
Via Politico:

Chris Hughes, the 31-year-old owner and publisher of The New Republic, will hold a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman reports.

The fundraiser will be hosted by Hughes and his husband Sean Eldrige, the former Upstate New York congressional candidate, and will take place on June 30 at their apartment in Manhattan. It is one of several stops on Clinton’s jam-packed summer fundraising tour, with private events hosted by a range of business executives and celebrities.

Hughes, a Facebook co-founder, bought The New Republic in 2012. While Hughes has kept the magazine’s liberal ideology intact, he has radically shifted the editorial and business strategy. Hughes’ effort to rebrand the magazine as a digital media company led to the abrupt resigniation of the magazine’s top editors, precipitating a mass exodus of senior editors and writers.

Liberals Can’t Tell the Difference Between ‘Satire’ and News, and GOP Presidential Campaigns are paying the Price by Jim Geraghty June 3, 2015 4:00 AM


Have you noticed your liberal friends on Facebook spotlighting some unbelievably shocking comments from Republican presidential candidates lately? Comments like Ted Cruz declaring on May 22, “While there may have been an age difference, Josh Duggar’s transgressions are far less an affront to God than what gays do to each other.”

Or Dr. Ben Carson saying on May 10, “Mother’s Day is a sad, lonely day for women who aborted their babies. Even if they have a living child, they focus on the one they murdered. It’s why suicide rates are so high on Mother’s Day.” Or Marco Rubio asking on May 26, “Why wouldn’t I trust Josh Duggar to babysit my children? I’d rather leave my daughters alone with him than with Beyonce or Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift.”

Of course, all of these quotes are fake.

They come from a “satirical” Facebook page, “Stop the World, the Teabaggers Want Off.”

But that hasn’t stopped more than a few liberals from enthusiastically sharing graphics featuring the imaginary incendiary comments, and stirring themselves into the attendant froth of outrage.

The site declares itself to be “for entertainment purposes only,” and that may be true — if you’re the kind of person who devours made-up, outrageous quotes from conservative politicians for fun. But there’s nothing funny about it from the perspective of the politicians’ presidential campaigns, who are starting to see the fake quotes and positions permeate the world of actual news.


“It’s obviously frustrating for any campaign, because the point of these sites is not to inform the public, it’s to cause trouble,” says Brian Phillips, director of rapid response at Cruz for President, who deals with these sorts of stories all the time. “There’s a whole industry of anti-conservative reporters or sometimes just folks on the Left who don’t really care about reporting the truth, who have another agenda to make a candidate look extreme.”
