Most fake news is from the right wing

[Wyatt earp]

The term actually originated as a description of sites like Breitbart, WND, Alex Jones, etc., and their regular unsubstantiated rumor-and-fantasy-as-fact stories.

Trump was able to commandeer it with his Twitter bully pulpit.

You’re close but it originated with new websites popping up, making themselves appear like news sites, blending real news stories to establish credibility while pushing fake news articles they made up. What they counted on were folks like posters here picking them up and spreading them across the Internet.

You’re right about Trump’s use of it.

What fake news?

Liar. It started on a rightwing website...

freerepublic.com

I was told today that Obama swore in on a Koran for his Senate seat. I do not believe he did. Can someone clarify this for me? I am under the impression only a Congressman has so far sworn in on a Koran.

Also that Obama’s mother gave birth to him overseas and then immediately flew into Hawaii and registered his birth as having taken place in Hawaii.

Again, any clarifications on this? Defintely disqualifies him for Prez. There must be some trace of an airticket. While small babies are not charged air fare they do have a ticket issued for them.

Long time ago but there may be some residual information somewhere. Good ammo (if available and true) BEST USED AFTER he becomes PREZ (if that occurs) and it’s too late for Dems - except accept the VP.

The anointed one Hitler Rotten Clinton was a shoe in for the presidency back in 2008 until some upstart Muslim from Kenya took the pole(Like the ****** he is) position thus upsetting the ***** into finding dirt on Obama like she has done to Trump in this election. Next time you call me a liar, I want you to look in the mirror and see who the real liar and ***** is...You have been punked,

How Can Black People Trust Hillary Clinton After the 2008 Campaign? | HuffPost

LOL- I look at your posts and yeah- you are a liar and a stupid whiny little *****- you birthers always are.

No wonder you slurp up Trump's fake news.

Why is it that Obama's transcripts from Columbia U are still locked away? ]

The same reason why Trump's transcripts from Wharton are still locked away, and Bush's transcripts from Harvard are still locked away.

Why do you expect President Obama to act differently than every other President?

Why is it that Trump's tax returns are still locked up?

are you telling me the IRS would let him slide if he was doing something wrong?

they damn sure didn't let me slide when i forgot to include some cashed in investments one year. OUCH.

No- I am not saying the IRS would let anything slide if he was doing something wrong- no more than Harvard would have let it slide if Obama had committed fraud there.

Here is the difference- President Obama- like EVERY other President- has not voluntarily released his college transcripts- and frankly I agree with all of the Presidents including Trump not releasing their college transcripts.

But- every President- and Presidential candidate until Trump has released their tax returns.

Not because we suspect every candidate of breaking the law but because tax returns show where possible conflicts of interest can be.

So to recap:
When Obama didn't release his college transcripts he was acting presidential.
When Trump didn't release his tax returns he was not acting presidential.

then it needs to be a requirement they release them. as of now it is not so i simply don't care. if there's a reason this needs to come out then make it part of the process / requirements of running for office and end the games around it.

How many do you want?
He produces so many.

Lets start with his Birther fake news he promoted for 5 years.

And lets finish with his tweet that the Nunes memo totally vindicated him

This memo totally vindicates ‘Trump’ in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their [sic] was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction.”

 

[Faun]

You’re still stuck on Obama’s birthplace???

He was born in Honolulu, ya moron...

You guys wont let it go, when you get into a jam, you instantly go after the birther issue, we just point out it was your side that started it.
Cosmetic Surgery can fix ugly.
Education can fix uneducated.
There is no cure for stupidity and you guy take the cake..

View attachment 175617

Too bad you failed miserably to prove it started with us. Your own link said it started with Hillary’s campaign in April, 2008 — then I showed you where it appeared on a rightwing website in March, 2008.

But you admit that the Clinton Campaign, that was supposed to win in 2008, the misogynists of the Democrats voted for the 1/2 white privileged community agitator over the queen bee even after she showed that Obama wasn't from the country?

No, I don’t admit that. I misspoke. Your article doesn’t claim it was started by Hillary’s campaign.

Good grief you people are tiresome. None of you bother to look up the truth and argue about nothing. A guy named Andy Martin invented the birther claim, it was (SORT OF) repeated by the Clinton campaign (not Clinton herself) and then picked up by Trump.

No, Clinton didn't start the birther thing. This guy did.

Educate yourselves.

Nothing in your article says Martin claimed Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. prior to March, 2008, which is when that story first appeared on a rightwing website.

Why is it that Obama's transcripts from Columbia U are still locked away? Why is Barry Sorento afraid to reveal to US in his most transparent way, did he use his Foreign exchange to get a better discount for his college? Did he really pass? Where is Obama today with what is going on with the FBI and its collusion with a Russian Dossier that he wanted to be kept informed with?
Love it when you call me a liar, here is Obumblers own words he isn't from here?



and for whiney bitches..

You’re still stuck on Obama’s birthplace???

He was born in Honolulu, ya moron...

so to prove he was born there you pull up a fake birth certificate? you even read this thing before getting your shot in?

Oh? What’s fake about that document? Hawaii certified it as authentic. Why would I that the word of some rightwing nut over theirs?

Still waiting for iceberg to show evidence that document is fake......

[Eaglewings]

You are the one in a pissing match..lol..

Listen, I used to go to twitter, or Google plus ( where I have over 1000 other attorneys that I link to bring up a law website)

Now what these Russians did was retweet the links across social media and landed on these websites like Infowars..which took on a second life across the political forums looking real.



Google acts against fake news on search engine
Google announced its first attempt to combat the circulation of “fake news” on its search engine with new tools allowing users to report misleading or offensive content, and a pledge to improve results generated by its algorithm.

The technology company said it would allow people to complain about misleading, inaccurate or hateful content in its autocomplete function, which pops up to suggest searches based on the first few characters typed.

It also said it would refine its search engine to “surface more authoritative pages and demote low-quality content” – and acknowledged for the first time that it had taken the measures to combat the threat of fake news.

then spending 2 minutes to put up a site and have it show up in the first 5 pages of google should be easy for you.

and you're the one cussing people out and getting ugly. i just disagree with you and suddenly here we are. big bold text, name calling, credentials abound. great - glad you have all this experience.

so doing this little test should be easy for you. get your website from 0 to top 5 pages in a week.

i take it you refuse and will just keep sending me bold text and calling me names. we'll see.

If I were to make a website and have a million bots spreading the links across social media back to my site, it would not take long. But since I am not a hack with a million bots to spread a link it wouldn't work for one person..

Why do they have several people working on backlinks blogs and retweets to get a website moved up..but nowadays if you are willing to pay a lot more money to google your law website will go to #1...

.

and here's where your story breaks down.

Russian bots retweeted Trump 500,000 times at end of 2016 campaign, created fake Facebook events seen by thousands

RUSSIAN BOTS RETWEETED TRUMP 500,000 TIMES AT END OF 2016 CAMPAIGN, CREATED FAKE FACEBOOK EVENTS SEEN BY THOUSANDS

we go from 500k and thousands seeing it to your sagen like numbers now.

who's doing fake news again?

I can appreciate the effort, but you know getting technical and specific is way over their heads.

that was done by word 3.

it's not that easy to make something go viral and influence that many people once. it just isn't or commercials would do it by the hour.

Well this is why these trolls are professional.. because it happened.

.

 

[Eaglewings]

Most of the fake news shared on social media is coming from right-wing conservatives, an Oxford study has found

"
LIBERALS DON’T SHARE OR BELIEVE FAKE NEWS AS MUCH AS RIGHT-WINGERS, STUDY FINDS"

Yep, they're more likely to share and believe fake news. No one should be surprised at this.

For the people who do not understand how the fake news spread and is still spreading..

Fake Russian websites popped up and linked to millions of fake news bots during the 2016 election..

This fake stories spread across social media, many landing here..when you clicked on the link it looked like a true story..

Everytime that you typed in google a word, you would be directed to these fake news sites

Fk-ng Trump doesn't mention the dangers of the Russians hacking us , but instead he does a dumbass fake news award show..
This man is as dumb as a doorknob..

.

You just described PROPAGHANDA not news.

It seems it is you who does not understand what fake news is.

This is factual ... not conspiracy, not propaganda ..It is FACT Gramps.. Go look it up..very very important..


Go read what Twitter has reported on this. below are a few I provided..if you don't understand I can help you or send you in the direction to find the answer.


Russian Bots retweeted 470000 times

How is the birther fake news? It had to get out in the open per the constitution of the United States?

First of all- there is nothing in the Constitution that requires Birther idiocy.

The Constitution requires that the President be a natural born citizen- which every President has been. The Constitution doesn't require that the President prove this but we have assumed that every President prior to Obama was a natural born citizen.

President Obama was the first President to provide actual legal proof that he was a natural born citizen.

And yes- Trump's Birtherism was fake news- and I am glad to point out again that for 5 years Trump was another idiot Birther lying about Obama and generating 'fake news'
