NBC upset Trump mocked Elizabeth Warren's 'Cherokee heritage'; apparently unaware it's fake

Oops.

The Callum Borchers of the world want “fake news” to mean only one thing: Crazy, sensationalist web sites with no journalistic credentials publish headlines like, “Obama born in Kenya, pledge loyalty to mosque there.”

But fake news doesn’t always take that form. Sometimes fake news is 50 percent true, or even 90 percent true. But it’s the part they leave out, or fudge, or alter ever so slightly that not only makes it fake, but makes it so pernicious that someone reported it as fact.

It’s “Fauxchahontas”. It’s funny. It’s clever. I makes the point that she is a lying hypocrite and definitely not a native American better. I wish he would say it right.

To the media, real accusations are fake, but fake ones are reported as gospel.

Oh, they know it is false. They are angry at him for telling the truth.

As the saying goes, To piss off a conservative, tell them a lie. To piss of a liberal, tell them the truth.

I think Meagain Kelly should follow-up her groundbreaking Kardashian interview with this.

A big one-two punch.

Seriously. She will not win this one: the Cherokee themselves will make sure that she doesn’t.

Lizzy is actually part of the Rubber Band.

That group adheres to the flexible (stretch) heritage.

At one time there were more than 600 different Indian tribes in this country . They fought each other in the most barbaric ways and no one ever seems to recall this part of American history just the part when the white Europeans arrived . Reparations you say ,,, Who should really pay ??

She’s of the Fugarwee tribe. When lost, they say, “We’re the Fugarwee!”

You’re more likely to get real news from a randomly picked blogger than from #NBC-FakeNews or any of the other alphabet corporate liars.
