A Bosnian Sniper Survivor Decries Fake News…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | Dec. 9, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 12/09/2016 6:48:02 AM PST by HarleyLady27

The professional left is really trying hard to embed a narrative about the need for divergent political opinion to be labeled as “fake news”.

Cue the creepy jackboot marching music in 3… 2… 1….

You forgot to post the rest of the article:

“This is disturbing on so many levels; not the least of which is the compare and contrast between the speech content yesterday noted above, and the speech Hillary Clinton gave at Andrews Air Force Base three days after the Benghazi attack – when she specifically and intentionally lied to the American people and blamed an internet video for the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Chris Smith, Ty Wood and Glenn Doherty.”

video embeds

It's not just the Professional Left.

Check-out the "bipartisan" Portman-Murphy Counter-Propaganda Bill which was snuck-in as Part of of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. The purpose of this bill is to root-out "fake news" coming from Russia, China, and "others".

This authorization will be in place prior to Trump taking office - just sayin'

I wonder what President Trump will do with this?

I was just thinking about all this ‘fake news’ and remembered when Dan Rather was hot on George W.’s butt over his National Guard years...I wonder if that is when it started and then it grew legs and now we have this mess of ‘fake news’...just thinking...

"mess of ‘fake news’"

There is data and facts (which I consider news), and then there is the spin that is used to wrap available data and facts.

The later is what organizations such as the Washington Post, CNN, NYtimes, and the MSM call "real news" as long as it conforms to their point-of-view.

The problem of "fake news" contradicting established human hierarchies predates Dan Rather by thousands of years.

My point was that you may post much more than one line of the article here. There is no restriction from that source. It gives the reader a chance to learn more without leaving the page.

Though in this case, the story is within the video.

Thank you for helping me...sometimes when you post more than what is in the article, people don’t read the article, and that what I was trying to get to was the video and the complete article...

I thank you for helping me seeing another way, and will consider that in the future... ;0)

Maybe I take the time and post too much? IDK. I think most people are happy to read 2-3 paragraphs unless it is a specific ‘hot topic’ to them.

The problem of leaving FR arises because of the amount of time it takes for some sites to load and from the blog pimps that drop stuff here to suck people over to their websites. Of course CT is not one of those bad guys. Sundance’s analysis is pretty amazing and very thorough. He or she is going a great job of keeping people informed.

I am also of the belief that it’s better to post the max allowed and even summarize the rest so that certain MSM news organizations DON’T get the traffic linked from here. Why help CNN,CBS, NYT out? They may write the headlines, but they lose the traffic. And here, people slice and dice and completely dissect and even discredit their extremely biased or faked ‘news.’

Some of British sites & others sources publish important news not seen elsewhere and the stories should to be disseminated, asap- especially during the election. For those, I post as much as possible because readers hesitate to go there due to the pop-ups and ads.

This is just my POV, it may not be reality of how it all works. Cheers.

“what I was trying to get to was the video”

Why not post the link to the video then?
It doesn’t belong to the blog, they just “borrowed” it.

Naw, blogs that "borrow" videos to get hits aren't real high on my list of favorites.

I agree and we need to stop watching the progressive people on TV and visiting their websites. CT is cool though, of course.

LOL. Excellent title.

Other favorite: She was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.... only his fame came years after Hillary Rodham’s birth.

I don’t have any idea what her problem is or what she’s talking about. Why is she crawling out from under her rock to deliver this ??message?? Where’s the danger and whose innocent lives are being threatened?

What’s with the lip pursing? Been watching that husband of hers and obozo too much, I guess. I think it’s a sign like her inappropriate laughing fits - covering up what? I think most of us can talk all day without pursing our lips...
