The Latest Fake News

[PoliticalChic]

It would be hard to top this fake news....

"Steyer: If GOP Wins in 2020, ‘Literally It Could Be the End of the World’"
Steyer argued that Republicans will never have power again if Democrats win in 2020 because Democrats would make the rules of politics "fair" going forward.

"We are in the fight of our lives," Steyer said. "Everything is on the table in 2020. They think so too, because they think if they lose in 2020 the rules are going to be fair and they're never going to win again. And they're right. If we win in 2020, they're done forever. But it's scary for us, too, because if they win, literally it could be the end of the world."

In an earlier speech he pushed the debunked allegation that 100,000 African-American voters were kept from the polls in Wisconsin in 2016 by voter-suppression efforts. In 2018, he accused Republicans of wanting to do away with democratic processes."
Steyer: If GOP Wins in 2020, 'Literally It Could Be the End of the World'



Can't be long before he claims to have won the presidency already.

And how about government school?

Illinois school clarifies 'Democrat' label on Lincoln plaque

The Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies at Northeastern Illinois University is housed in a building that bears historical significance," the school said in a statement. "From time to time, the integrity of a plaque honoring the memory of Abraham Lincoln is questioned. Installed in the building for its opening in 1905, the plaque includes an inscription of the word 'democrat' following Abraham Lincoln's name. According to building archives, the word democrat was used because Lincoln was an advocate for democracy -- the political or social equality of all people. The word was not chosen to reflect a political affiliation."

More examples of fake news, and this is a very partial list:


False ABC NEWS report on former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn meeting with foreign leaders during the campaign

(ABC corrected the error when it was pointed out and Ross was suspended for four weeks and then reassigned by ABC. The report was also linked to a temporary drop of 350 points in the Dow Jones, but stocks recovered quickly)

CNN Report claiming Trump campaign had early access to hacked WikiLeaks documents.

(CNN forced to issue a correction)

NY Times falsely claimed that 17 US Intelligence Agencies concluded that Russia meddled in the election to help the Trump Campaign

(The NY Times later corrected the story and admitted it was just 4 individual analysts and that “the assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community”)

TIME Magazine posts a tweet claiming a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office.

(Later a correction and apology issued by TIME)

WASHINGTON POST REPORTER Tweets a misleading photo suggesting a rally for Trump in Pensacola was not 'packed to the rafters.'

(The photo was taken while the audience was still entering the arena. The reporter was forced to apologize)

CNN published a video giving the impression Trump carelessly overfed fish in a koi pond during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister

(The video was doctored. Full video showed that Trump was merely copying what Abe was doing; the report accompanying the video actually portrayed Trump's actions in a positive light.)

A Totally false report by CNN claiming then-White House Communications DirectorAnthony Scaramuccihad ties to Russia.

(Report later retracted. Three CNN staff members – Pulitzer-Prize nominee Thomas Frank; assistant managing editor Eric Lichtblau (who had recently joined from The New York Times and is a Pulitzer winner himself); and Lex Haris, the executive editor in charge of investigations – resigned)

NEWSWEEK Article falsely claimed Polish first lady Agata Kornhauser-Dudawould not shake Trump's hand.

(Forced to issue a correction hours after publication)

CNN Report that former FBI director James Comey would dispute Trump's claim that he was told he was not under investigation.

(CNN forced to issue a correction)

NY TIMES false report that scientists were afraid of the Trump administration planning not to publish a climate-change study.

(The study had actually been available to the public for seven months. In a correction, the New York Times lied, claiming that the report "was uploaded to a nonprofit internet digital library in January but received little attention until it was published by the New York Times", though the study had been previously reported on by the Washington Post.)

ALL MEDIA - Claims that the Trump campaign "colluded" with Russia.

(the greatest fake news hoax ever)

WASHINGTON POST FACT CHECKER claimed President Trump has made

12,019 false or misleading claims

(this ridiculous number comes from including jokes and even campaign slogans, for instance the rally slogan ‘this is the greatest economy ever’ and then counting each time he said it in a rally, so that one slogan was counted as 700 lies)

The NY TIMES claimed there was new with a new allegation of sexual misconduct by Bret Kavanaugh while a student at Yale University

(there was NO accuser and the Times was widely criticized by even the other Fake News outlets)

The BOSTON GLOBE falsely reported that Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test proved that she was native American and that Donald Trump was wrong.

(the Globe later issued a correction, admitting she was 1/1,024 Native American, that means 0. They blamed it on a math error)

They should have to put up a disclaimer at the beginning of their broadcasts so even leftist sycophants like the dumbasses on this board will know their objective is to push disinformation, not facts.

I believe most of 'em know it.

To repeat statistics known to be contrived is an example of what Aquinas called 'ignorantia affectata - a cultivated ignorance'.


"The deniers first deceive themselves that they are sincere in their adherence to falsehoods. Thus they cannot be faulted for acting on genuinely held views. But in truth, they have cultivated an ignorance of the facts, what Thomas Aquinas called ignorantia affectata. An ignorance so useful that one protects it at all costs, in order to continue using it in one’s own self interest. This ignorance is not exculpatory, but inculpatory. Forgive them not, for they know full well what they do.' RICHARD BADALAMENTE

They remind me of professional wrestling fans. They know that nobody could survive a 300 lb. man jumping off the top rope onto their throat, yet they still keep insisting it's not fake.

That Charlottesville 'fake news'.....


Watch: Joe Biden Confronted on Charlottesville 'Fine People' Hoax




"One of the greatest examples of Fake News is the lie that on Charlottesville, the President said there were good people on the Nazis/White Nationalists side. He said just the opposite:

"you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.....I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.

News anchors and pundits have repeated lies about Donald Trump and race so often that some of these narratives seem true, even to Americans who embrace the fruits of the president’s policies. The most pernicious and pervasive of these lies is the “Charlottesville Hoax,” the fake-news fabrication that he described the neo-Nazis who rallied in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017 as “fine people.”

Another quote from President Trump's Charlottesville press conference:

“Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

Despite the clear evidence of Trump’s statements regarding Charlottesville, major media figures insist on spreading the calumny that Trump called neo-Nazis “fine people.” The only explanation for such a repeated falsehood is abject laziness or willful deception. Either way, the duplicity on this topic perhaps encapsulates the depressingly low trust most Americans place in major media, with 77 percentstatingin a Monmouth University 2018 poll that traditional TV and newspapers report fake news. In addition, such lies as the Charlottesville Hoax needlessly further divide our already-polarized society.

"Fake News" is usually making up negative things about candidates the Left hates....but it also includes hiding negatives of their side.

Like this....


Here is the juxtaposition of how the main stream media breaks every rule in order to harm GOP candidates...and how it hides news detrimental to Democrat candidates.


A close and intimate friend of Barack Hussein Obama(peace be on him)....a bitter and inveterate enemy of the United States' ally in the Middle East, ...Rashid Khalidi.

And, remember that Khalidi is a close associate of terrorists and terrorism.



Compare the NYTimes revelations vis-a-vis Donald Trump with this:

"As you all know, the Los Angeles Times is holding hostage a tape of Barack Obama at a 2003 ArabAmericanAction Network (AAAN) dinner at which his friends, Rashid Khalidi, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn were in attendance. It’s the story I startedwhen Los Angeles Times plagiarist/”reporter” Peter Wallsten ripped offmy January column onBarack Obama’s Nation of Islam staffers and friendship with AAAN founder Ali Abunimah.
But here’s what you haven’t yet heard: that a kids’ dance troupe that appeared at the event has a history of simulating beheadings and stomping onAmerican, Israeli, and British flags.


Reports ofthe partial guest listat the 2003 dinner include “the Sanabel Debka troupe”, but the group’s name is really “Sanabel AlQuds Dabka troupe.”Sanabelmeans “grains” or “kernels” (of wheat or barley) in Arabic.AlQuds, or “The Holy”, is the Muslim name for Jerusalem, which isripped-off from the eternal Hebrew name for Jerusalem, “Ir Kadosh“, or Holy City.
The Milwaukee-based Muslimkids dancingtroupe… But they didn’t just dance the debkah.


Suddenly the Sanabel AlQuds dancers pulled out fake swords and rifles and adorned three of their troupe respectively with anAmerican, Isreaeli, and British flag. The others pretended to behead and/or shoot the boys wearing the flags. Then they put red scarves over the three boys heads, signifying blood and no head. Then, the flags were taken off, thrown to the ground, and trampled on by this young group of Milwaukee dancers.

While I do not know if Sanabel AlQuds performed this particular “dance” for Barack and Michelle Obama and other guests at this dinner, I know that this was their performance in the summer of 2004, just a year after the dinner that is the subject of the videotape the Los Angeles Times will not release. It may be that this same “act” was performed for the Obamas, but that it was not part ofthe tape, which would be why L.A. Times plagiarist/”reporter” Peter Wallsten did not write about it.
Still, why is Barack Obama hanging out with young kids who simulate beheadings of Americans and Jews on a regular basis?"
EXCLUSIVE: Dance Troupe @ Obama-Khalidi Dinner (of Secreted Tape Fame) Simulated Beheadings in Recent Past



"... the Los Angeles Times is holding hostage a tape of Barack Obama at a 2003 ArabAmericanAction Network (AAAN) dinner at which his friends, Rashid Khalidi, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn..."


Was any of that revealed by the main stream press?

Shouldn't it have been???

 

[DOTR]

When caught ABC said “it was a mistake”. But it wasn’t. They digitally stabilized the original, applied a grain filter, used an exposure filter to darken it, cropped out the spectators and lowered the quality slightly.
And they used it in a drumbeat for more war and against a Trump. The announcer intoned “civilians” and “Kurdish village” and “atrocities” and “fought side by side with us against ISIS”. The media are Enemies of the American people. And the liberal dunces who dance to their tune are like demon possessed puppets.

Media manipulation is also about what they don’t show you. Selective censorship.

"ABC News Broadcasts Fake Syria Bombing Video That's Actually From a Kentucky Military Show in 2017

ABC News aired a video on Sunday that host Tom Llamas said depicted a Turkish attack in northern Syria against Kurdish civilians. Turkey is indeed pushing into Syria and slaughtering Kurds along the way, but the video ABC News played last night is from a military gun demonstration in Kentucky that was published to YouTube in 2017.

“This video, right here, appearing to show Turkey’s military bombing Kurd civilians in a Syrian border town,” Llamas said on the October 13 broadcast as the video played."

And what may be the grand-daddy of Fake News.....one on which Franklin Delano Roosevelt based his foreign policy....





March 31, 1933 Walter Duranty reported in the NYTimes “there is no famine (in the Ukraine)”

while 7 –10 million were starved to death. In his New York Times articles (including one published on March 31, 1933), Duranty repeatedly denied the existence of a Ukrainian famine in 1932–33. In an August 24, 1933 article in NYT, he claimed "any report of a famine is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda. Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize in 1932.

Here Are Just a Few Of the Fake News Stories About Donald Trump:



1. He doesn’t read. A favorite NY Times/MSNBC lie. Totally false. Anyone that knows him, laughs when they hear that one. A constant reader, look at any picture of his desk, covered with reports, studies and books.


2. CNN reported that Nancy Sinatra was "not happy" Trump's first inaugural dance to her dad's "My Way." Even the very liberal Democrat Nancy was stunned by this fake news and posted this reaction, "Why do you lie, CNN?"


3. The New York Times and others reported that on Inauguration Day, Trump's team scrubbed climate change and references to LGBT from the White House website. Actually, there was a broadcast plan to shift the Obama website to a different site and that the Trump team would use a skeleton site for the first few days.


4. The Washington Post hit Trump for giving a speech in front of the "sacrosanct" CIA Memorial Wall. It didn't mention that Obama had done the same thing.


5. CBS, reporting on the same event, said that the applause for Trump came from the first three rows of guests, stacked with Trump campaign and White House aides. In an embarrassing pushback, Spicer at a subsequent press briefing said there were no aides in the first four rows, that they were standing in the back.




6. A Time reporter tweeted that Trump removed the Martin Luther King Jr. bust from Oval office. The reporter soon corrected the tweet.


7. Several outlets reported that Team Trump issued a "gag order" on the EPA and other agencies. In fact, the memo asking them to refrain from tweeting and issuing news releases is standard operating procedure between administrations.


8. The AP reported that Donald Trump's voter fraud expert was registered to vote in three states. He was registered in only one.


9. Many media outlets described the president's immigration orders as a "Muslim ban." It targeted anybody from seven nations, including Christians, not just Muslims.


10. The New York Times reported that Trump's staff bumbles around in the dark in the Cabinet room because they can't find the light switch.



In short....Rule #1 applies...

Rule #1
Every argument from Democrats and Liberals is a misrepresentation, a fabrication, or a bald-faced lie.

"ABC News Airs Authentic Footage Of 164-Foot-Tall Godzilla Rampaging Through Syria
October 16th, 2019

NEW YORK, NY—ABC News has been praised as a bastion of journalistic integrity and in-depth reporting after being the first ones to air authentic footage of a 164-foot-tall radioactive dinosaur rampaging through Syria.

The footage, dubbed "Slaughter in Syria," shows the monster, named "Gojira" or "Godzilla" by people screaming in the video, rising from the ocean to attack coastal cities throughout the region. Desperate locals try to fend off the monster with depth charges, a huge electric fence, tanks, and fighter jets. But mostly it doesn't work and they just scream a lot.

Some experts believe we created the monster through too much nuclear testing and some drone strikes and feel we should study the monster. As these experts were opining on the matter in Syria, Godzilla appeared again and destroyed them with his atomic breath.

"Here we can see the harmful effects of Trump's actions in the region," said an anchor grimly. "May God have mercy on us all."

Fortunately, at the last minute, the US military returned and used a weapon called the "Oxygen Destroyer" to defeat the monster for good.

ABC News reporters warn, however, that Godzilla may return to Syria soon to fight other monsters, most notably in a disappointing attack in 1998 and pretty cool attacks in 2014 and 2019."
