    Yes. And the problem for those on the left is that everyone recognizes that.

    Yes, the Internet given ability to fact check the media has been a God send . . . well . . . to the Right anyway.

    I would caution anyone from even using the phrase "fake news". The debate should be about who's actually delivering the TRUTH, not about what one one side or another can spin as being "fake". I mean, just think about how ambiguous the word "fake" is. It's a very subjective word & having a debate over something that wide open to individual perception isn't beneficial. What we should be debating is fact & honestly reporting the facts, period. Wading into to a debate about "fake news" is a futile effort.

    My favorite msm/liberal fake news story was when NBC did a show on evil corporations and the "unsafe" Ford pickups that exploded randomly. In the news segment, they kept trying to get the pickup to catch fire, but it wouldn't happen. Finally, the NBC news producer planted a bomb on the truck and blew it up.

    "There! See how unsafe these trucks are!"

    I don't think so. Particularly since as a phrase, "fake news" didn't even really exist a month ago. Something happened, I'm not sure what :wink:, to have all networks and newspapers simultaneously decide to do stories on "fake news" and it's dangerous threat to democracy. I think since the phrase "fake news" was concocted, it's perfectly acceptable to turn it around and aim it at the outlets which made up both the phrase and the concept.

    the video contributed to it, the man responsible for the attack is on record. this had been repeated to rwers time after time, and your ilk is still in denial, which is the point i am making

    - - - Updated - - -

    complaining about false is fine, but rwers made up so many false narratives about obama is why i lmao about rwers complaining

    - - - Updated - - -

    tyrannical left, but rwers are kind, gentle and fair :)

    You mean the guy that they can't prove was even in Libya at the time of the attack? The attack was four years ago. Yet, has only one person illegally kidnapped, and has no trial date set yet. What to know why?

    So, Operation Fast and Furious is a false narrative? Or the IRS targeting scandal? Or lying about the nature of the attack on the Benghazi mission? Remember Obama claiming that you could keep your insurance and doctor under the ACA? But I guess calling him a liar is a false narrative, right? The problem with you left-wingers is that you can not think for yourself. You believe whatever the media feeds you. The media are a bunch of liberal zealots. They hide behind that premises that they do not lie. What they do is limit what they tell you that would allow you to actually form your own opinions. How many times did they tell you that there was no way the elections could be rigged, and that Trump could not win. Now, are claiming that Trump won because the elections were rigged. The whole time, you are acting like a parrot. You regurgitate whatever they feed you.

    When was the last time you saw a conservative protest turn violent? The liberals have always complained about conservatives being warmongers. But if you look at history you'll find that the Democrats have been the ones that have started the majority of wars since WWI. So, compared to the liberals we are kind, gentle and fair. The only one that do not think so, are the delusional left.

    That was great...... That was straight up Orwellian.

    It really goes to show what progressives think.

    That there was a Freudian slip.

    Every now and again a progressive will fumble up and let loose a Freudian slip.

    Josh Earnest had a good one today said it was the Chinese behind the hacking until a reporter *corrected* him.

    Well if they're going to pick countries out of a hat why not China?

    For all we know it was the CIA that leaked the information.

    The fact is that "millenials" believe whatever "Siri" tells them to believe. Journalists have reduced themselves to info-tainment providers. Sensationalism is their stock and trade, and nothing, including public trust, is sacred.

    Wow. Your viewpoints are straight from a parallel universe. Where FDR started WWII. When Reagan and Bush's many invasions never happened. Republicans are too lazy to protest, instead they plot and scheme late at night. They whined like puppies at a pitiful little Tea Party protest, when six cops showed up. They were pathetic....You want to see real protests? Watch the next four years.

    It's been a rough morning.
    My helicopter got shot down, and then we had to hide from sniper fire at the airport while our emails got hacked by the Russians. But no worries, it was all caused by a YouTube video marked classified on my illegal private server. Later today I have to testify, so I'm waiting for a list of the questions from Donna Brazile and then CNN wants me to approve (or edit) the story before it airs. Some people might doubt my story, but everything is already in play so at this point, what difference would it make?
    The real news died when Cronkite retired.
