Pizzagate is about the worst conspiracy theory yet. Think it will slow anyone down? That words do indeed have consequences? Doubtful.

so called Fake News is not a big deal as long as people get to decide for themselves what is fake or not fake news . The way things sound to me is that someone or some entity is looking to be put in charge of deciding what is fake news or not fake news and thats not a good thing . Print or distribute what you like and let the reader or hearer decide for himself whats FAKE or NOT fake !!

Fake news is made up. It is not backed up by facts. That is "fake" news. When people take your attitude and willingly suspend disbelief in order to bolster their political views, it can lead to real consequences. Real as in real bullets, in this case.
This is no different than the belief in Aliens from a different star cluster. We can "prove" it isn't true by the consistent and overwhelming lack of evidence to support such a claim, but some people will continue to "believe." That is their right, but it shouldn't be taken seriously, and it certainly shouldn't spill into areas where "beliefs" have serious consequences, like who we elect as leaders to run our country.

Granted the historical perspective of most lefties doesn't go back further than the last administration but it's embarrassing and disrespectful to the greatest Country in the world to compare it to anything the Nazis did.

Apparently it is needed, Pismoe. Or at least fact checkers working overtime to dispel the funk by keeping REALITY in front of everyone's face. The problem is, people who want to believe Pizzagate won't pay any attention to the REAL facts, because they have already been gulled into believing that the fact checkers are lying. This is where we are running into serious danger.

And it's not polite to laugh at people who are making a serious point, Pismoe. You don't have to agree, but you don't have to be rude, either.

Propaganda has been a necessary component of war forever -- at least since Roman times if not also since the ancient Greeks.

This is nothing new. Political campaigns are just like wars. You must win the hearts and minds of the people.

If you want to read about WW1 propaganda pick up a copy of Adam Hochschild's book "To End All Wars":

Rule #1 is "do not believe anything you read on the Internet."

Rule #2 is "fact check everything that you want to believe on the Internet."

"The Lefties" were originally the representatives who sat on the left side of the French Legislature during the French Revolution. That's when the term evolved. The lefties supported the rights of the people.

Those who sat on the right supported the French King.

Don't believe anything you read on the Internet? Where do you suppose USMB is seen?

The prevalent fake news has been the establishment media, who have blatantly spread lies and garbage in an all out effort to push their commie candidates through.

When they get busted, repeatedly, doing it, of course they're going to come up with a *fake news* scandal...identifying all other sources of news as *fake*.

And as a result, their stock is plummeting. Poor NYT, Twitter, fb, CNN..no matter how they try to control the narrative, they fail. Over and over again.

So apparently we do learn from history...i.e., Goebbels. Because we recognized them for the pigs they are, and won the election anyway.

Democrats have nothing but fake news....it's terrible.....they are Nazis with it is correct....

This is the problem with the public nowadays. You dont get to choose reality.

 

[Coyote]

Media needs to police itself, and be more careful in what they choose to promote - I think they're starting to look at this seriously.

 

[Rambunctious]

The Tea Party has been warning the public about fake news for years now....it's called NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, FOX, etc etc so it's nice to see the News Fakers ***** about Fake news. What a laugh! Fake news about the Tea Party brought the IRS down on them but no one cared. So I just can't wipe the smile off of my face since Nov 8th.....

Agreed - whether you choose to believe it or not is not what makes it fake. It either is or it is not.

What gives you that idea? This last election demonstrated the media has sold it's soul and did not apologized for it, even after being caught.

This forum is a repository for fake news and the moderation does next to nothing to curtail it. Perhaps because even the site owner participates in spreading fake news? Remember when cereal_killer posted that long ass thread about anonymous' threats that never materialized? Yeah, it was bullshit -- and he never apologized for it either. Every day I come here and there's a whole slew of fake bullshit being hustled by the moronic rightist cretins here from Breitbart, Infowars, TheGatewayPundit, etc., this shit never ends.

Whether it's Pizzagate, or the recent debunked false claim that Trump won 3,084 counties and Clinton won 57, it's ENDLESS on this forum. Something about this forum seems to attract people to fake news, perhaps it's because there are so many people here who are frauds. Seems like every week a new conservative is being found out for pretending to have military experience. This forum is a haven for conservative frauds.

I've been keeping track of these ******* frauds here: Error | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
