The mainstream media has become just what they used to call deplorables and sites like this: FRINGE
WARNING to allI Internet conservative bug life out there; the hoity-toity mainstream media has morphed into a can of RAID Kills Bugs Dead and are now screeching in the cartoon language of ZAP!
According to their arrogant way of thinking, one press of the spray button and ZAP, pesky conservative bugs are no more. They fail to notice that rather than scattering off into a zillion corners, conservatives are standing strong; that that they’re there still there on their way back to crawl all over them.
Time to take a page from Alinsky. If the left is the keeper of the true news, show the people how they are frauds. Freeze the idea that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NPR, etc... are actually spreading propaganda, prove it with fact then beat them with their own virtue. Make a mockery out of their organizations and crush them into oblivion.
NPR tracked down the operator of the "Denver Guardian" and NationalReport.net.
He admitted that he was doing it for the money, and earning thousands of dollars per month from ad networks.
His entire business plan: write a click-bait articles and seed them on social media so you will follow the link.
He gets a fraction of a cent every time someone reads the article, but it quickly adds up with millions of hits.
Pardon me, but doesn’t this reek of self-interest?
“Our competitors are fake. You can trust us”.
Seems like there should be some antitrust laws this falls under. If physicians demonstrated this degree of collusion we’d all be in jail.
You literally just described the business model of every online newspaper, do you realize that?
old media is inadvertently providing free advertising for new media.
hilarious
Can you hear us sing?
Hint: for my money/time the fake news is what they package up nice and slick, is simple "sound bites," is always "on message" and keeps you marching to their drum. The real deal is often messy, contradictory, and makes you have to think or re-think things.
CNN giving debate questions to Hillary before a Presidential debate is ‘real’?
CNN’s reporting for a decade from Iraq was ‘real’? All stories were approved by Saddam Hussein for a decade - we find out after the fact.
The NY Times’ Mark Thompson defended degenerate pedophile Jimmy Savile for a decade, thereby allowing his rampage of pedophily and rape to continue unabated until his death - and now leads the NY Times.
We know who the fake news purveyors are.
Yes, I know. And that's exactly my point: the "fake news" sites are no different than "non-fake news".
They weren't trying to change the election. They are just click-farming for money.
Actually, I'll amend that: many of the "non-fake news" sites admitted they WERE trying to affect the outcome of the election. Thus, my tagline....
Coler says that he has two motivations — the money, but also the opportunity to ridicule conservatives by suckering them with obviously fake stories. He’s a self-described liberal and a registered Democrat. So it’s an outworking of his political beliefs and not just about clicks and money.
I’d like to see someone sit down and do some serious digging into these fake news sites. I’d almost bet that they’re mostly the work of liberals. My guess is that Facebook and Google and the rest are discovering this as their “fake news” clampdown moves along. They’re probably turning over rocks and finding mostly fellow liberals underneath.
