Cool.
Sorry, but Fake News doesn’t get to define fake news. The Washington Post never even heard about Fake News until Donald Trump came along.
They’re on the ropes. Full defense.
“I’M NOT A LIAR”
Keep the message on the lies. Don’t let them off the hook
How they phrased the poll question is left to the imagination. Perhaps all this means is that what the pollsters consider to be “accurate news stories” is not considered accurate by others.
Who judges that? The WaPo? Please.
If the “accurate” article says that the Donald eats Big Macs, or had two scoops of ice cream, then yes, it is fake “news”
This is an example of a fake news story.
It's like Comey's memos and his testimony..."He felt...."
accurate can be fake:
a dem and a repub have a race.
the dem comes in second, the repub, next to last.
accurate, but fake.
“The Washington Post never even heard about Fake News until Donald Trump came along.”
My recollection is that Trump turned the phrase against them. It was originally created as a meme to neutralize conservative websites.
Actually, “fake news” was coined by the WaPo.
In an article that was itself fake.
I was actually the one who put those quotation marks in. I probably shouldn’t have but I couldn’t resist.
Even were this to be correct, which is dubious given the source, did they do a similar study to see how many Democrats believe a story (regardless of its veracity) that portrayed the POTUS or any Republican in a negative light simply because of its source?
If not, then the news agency is perpetuating “fake news”.
FR caught on real quick....anonymous source etc etc
Well, if the link to a news headline takes me to the Washington Post, I assume the content and spin is fake news.
The WP has a paywall so if I get linked to it more than a few times each month, I’m blocked out for the rest of the month. Being blocked out does not bother me as I don’t like the WP.
Exactly! "President Trump ate a delicious steak today - while millions across the globe are just barely making ends meet."
Regards,
There’s a big difference between saying “Trump will no doubt play up the size of this crowd despite the empty seats (show picture of auditorium before it was full). That’s just the way Trump is — a narcissist, according to several reputable psychiatrists.”
Versus saying, “No individual since Dr. Martin Luther King, or maybe the charismatic Sarah Palin, has been able to consistently raise such crowds, especially with only short notice.”
Both characterizations could conceivably be used to describe the same event; and we KNOW which one the lamestreams consistently employ.
THAT’S what we are calling “fake news”.
I know it hurts their prissy little feelings; sorry Charlie. Cry me a river.
