I’ve heard about these instances where the reporting on an event was completely wrong. It needs to be very publicly proven in such a way that the media are shown for what they are to as many viewers as possible.
This instance occurred in 1989. Amazingly, I found the Fake News report on it:
“Vice President Dan Quayle, dogged during last year’s campaign by suggestions that he was a draft dodger, was booed by West Point cadets today as he was introduced as commencement speaker”
“The boos and hisses arose from the corps of cadets, West Point’s undergraduates, when the vice president was introduced with a mention of his Vietnam-era service in the Indiana National Guard. Quayle, 42, did not react.”
I was there, and I absolutely did not hear any boos or hisses. And by ‘there’, I mean sitting in the Corps of Cadets, closer to the alleged boos than any reporter would be. It would also be incredibly out of character for the Corps of Cadets to boo a VIP like that.
I’ve always assumed that some reporter paid a janitor 5 bucks to boo, so he could report on it.
Anyway, in 1989, the only news outlets were CNN and network - and fake stories like this were allowed to stand.
