Americans aren't as stupid as the left thought. They know a lot of the news from the MSM is fake, and they know it's deliberately fake.
While most Americans say that both traditional and online media are reporting “fake news,” they’re more than twice as likely to attribute the falsehoods to deliberate deception rather than to incompetence, a new poll by Monmouth University reveals.
Nearly two-thirds (63%) of Americans say they’re either “regularly” (27%) or “occasionally” being fed fake news by traditional major TV and newspaper outlets.
Asked to cite the reason that these media report fake news, 39% say they do it “On purpose in order to push an agenda,” while only 17% say it is “By accident or because of poor fact checking.” Another 32% denied that traditional TV and newspaper media report fake news. …
Ha.Ha--so who's the Truth teller--Trump's fairy godfather, Sean Hannity?--LOL The problem is 24 hour cable news today. They run out of news. So we get into the everyone has got to comment on the news. You have your right wing news, and you have the left wing news and too many people are addicted to it.
You are convinced you can't turn the channel away from FOX because you believe that FOX is fair and balanced--(you've been brainwashed to believe that.) You won't read anything that has been put on their blacklist--New York Times and other articles and are lead to right wing media sites.
The News you want to hear. It's gotten to where people don't want to watch or hear the truth, they want to believe what they want to believe so they're going to turn away from the truth to get the news (their way)--which brings on all the FAKE news to keep them entertained. Then when they get the news they want to hear--they call all other news FAKE.
Mr. Talent on Loan from Gawwddd did it again the other day. Actually stating that the outing of General Flynn is Hillary Clinton's fault. He had this theory that intelligence agencies uploaded Russian intelligence to her server.
Limbaugh lied and he's a coward. Everyone knows that Obama ordered this investigation done before he left office, and everyone knows that he preserved intelligence. And Limbaugh knows it''s much easier to BLAME a private citizen, than Barack Obama because he saw the backlash of what happened when Trump accused Obama of wiretapping the tower. He's just full of shit and so is his audience.
Obama administration reportedly raced to preserve intelligence on possible contact between Russians and Trump associates
And this is the kind of shit you Reich wingers listen too, and what's worse you believe this shit, because you
want to believe it, and the last thing you'll do is question it's validity.
As far as FAKE news there is no bigger FAKE news than what comes out of Trump's mouth and tweety fingers.
And you supported and voted for him, even though he's a pathelogical liar. Why did you support him. Because you wanted to believe him, even though somewhere deep down you knew he was lying.
Donald Trump is constantly lying
Unfortunately this attitude has
dumbed down America. I can see it a lot of this board debating with Right wingers. Often on this board they didn't know something of deep importance because their favorite right wing talk show host didn't regurgitate that information and spoon feed it back to them. It was purposefully left out of the regurgitation cycle --to give them the
News they wanted to hear.
The only way you'll be smart to the truth is to be open to both sides--listening to different news, reading what FOX has put on it's banned reading list, and it won't be long before you're able to easily recognize what is FAKE News and what isn't.
And you'll sure as hell be a lot more politically informed & expediant than you are today.
