"Who has been fooled by fake news?" "Some news consumers are more gullible than others, and age may have something to do with it. A study published in January in the journal Science Advances examined the behavioral data. . Researchers found that fewer than 10% of Americans shared a story from a fake news domain, and those who did were more likely to be over the age of 65." "Political ideology may be a factor as well. The study also revealed that conservatives were more likely than moderates or liberals to share fake news articles in 2016." "Another report found that only the 10% of Americans with the most conservative media diets clicked on links to fake news stories or navigated to the websites where they were posted." "That’s in line with research conducted by a team from UCLA in 2017. They examined how personality traits and thinking styles affect people’s intake and acceptance of information, and found that conservatives are more likely than liberals to believe things that aren’t true" https://www.latimes.com/science/scie...319-story.html Shocking, those that complain the most about supposed "fake news" are the very ones who are taken in the most by actual fake news, conservatives, especially older conservatives. Does explain why you don't have a MAGA bomber, MAGA shooter, MAGA "hero" raiding pizza restaurants, and umpteen renowned radio oracles on the left Bottom line, demagoguery sells on the right, always has, individuals have made themselves into millionaires telling conservatives what to hate and what to believe
Feeble fail of an attempt to deflect the world-class sham/boondoggle of "muhrussia." Tell us all about the RW proclivities towards Fake News, though, that the branches of the LW/statist gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex are always spewing, infinitely amusing, these days especially. Do you think anyone is fooled by the deflection?
What a joke this thread is... all you need to do is watch this montage. Or... Rachel Maddow from Yesterday! Total Lies! Total FAKE NEWS! As she rails against Barr and how Mueller is not being allowed to help in the review and redactions, the chyron at the bottom of the screen reads, “Barr: Special Counsel Is Assisting With Redactions". But this Leftist hack argues the exact opposite. It's priceless and telling of what a propaganda freak show liar she is and how gullible her audience must be. That's undeniable pure saturation of Leftist media with nothing but lies, lies, and more lies.
Just this week, and the week is still young, how many posts did we see about Trump grabbing something and leaving out 'they let you?' How old were those posters and how do they lean politically?
Hands up, don't shoot. Kavanaugh is a serial rapist. The Steele dossier. Russia collusion. Michael Cohen traveled to Prague. Russians hacked our power grid. Michael Flynn was directed to talk to the Russians during the campaign. Jussie Smollett claim. Covington kids. Buzzfeed saying Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Facts matter.
Where there is a demand, there will be a supply. If you believed that Trump colluded with Russia, or that Obama was not a US citizen, you are part of the demand. Its not like they don't know what the pigeons will do when they throw crumbs.
While well intended , I'm sure, your post is so disjointed it's hard to answer. Hands up don't shoot? What's that? Is this stuff true or false, it's hard to tell because they are all declaratives without explanation or substance. Five items have been substantiated by multiple sources, two have been proven false, and three are ???. The point is?
So howw many clicks do the millions who watched CNN and MSNBC lie nearly 24/7 for 2 yrs...add up to? When Time puts a misleading image on its cover claiming Trump was locking up kids, did they consider that fake as well, because it was.
There is nothing "disjointed" about it. Let me help you along. These are all left wing conspiracies that have been proven to be lies and frauds the left perpetrated. Clear enough?
In other words, like 99% of the RW "content" at PF? Any way, it has been proven (Beyond Any DOUBT) that those most likely to fall for (and believe) "Fake News" are EXPONENTIALLY those who have RW Political Leanings. ^That is beyond dispute. Case closed.
Russian sourced fake news was blasted all over this forum by Trump supporters in the fall of 2016. Some of you kept it up after the election for a while. Many of you have been citing Russian propoganda as news sources for several years. I guess you must think that being a useful idiot is a barrel of laughs!
No surprise here. Being a bootlicking idiot is now a precondition for association with Trumpian conservatism.
You like videos, do you? Here. Here’s video of the moron that too many Americans voted for. How long will he continue embarrass the once great United States?
I find it quite ironic how nitwits who have been brainwashed by fake news, fell for the Russia collusion hoax hook, line and sinker and have spent 2 years proclaiming on a daily basis the imminent "frog-marching" "any day now" are calling those who saw right through that patently obvious garbage, nonsense and lies gullible. So little self-awareness, so much excellent material for a ground-breaking psychiatric research goes to waste
You don't understand that millions of MSM dollars are spent deflecting whatever unfavorable, narrative-busting facts of the news are making the Complex eat crow? Specifically in this case the "muhrussia" egg on the Fake News' face? Sorry bout that.
Thread warrants no more substantive response than "muhrussia." And that immense failure of your Complex propaganda outlets is in plain view of the voter, not a thing you can do about it.
Your post is an embarrassment to you. It says you have been a member since 2012. How the hell have you not learned to address the topic of a thread? (1) Totally Off Topic - Do you have ANYTHING regarding the topic? This post is a derail. Make a thread on Trump that is relevant and then look for responses. What you have done here is wrong. (2) American was "once great"? - Best Economy, Highest Net Worth, Strongest Military... WTF are you babbling about? Again... totally off topic. Comment on Fake News or don't comment at all.
Whoa, is somebody… triggered? It’s okay man. Trump is a fool, and I believe one day you will come out of your delusion and see it, too. And then you’ll have a good laugh with the rest of us. I mean look at him! Whatta clown!
