“No. FR is used to address the fake news.”

You are promoting their propaganda free of charge, and giving them free access to audiences they could never reach otherwise.

I’m sure they must appreciate the irony of a conservative news outlet such as FR distributing their hit pieces for them.

Hannity, Carlson and Ingraham do the same disservice - their shows are chalk full of fake news content from CNN, MSNBC, etc. - making their shows unwatchable for those of us trying to boycott fake news.

True, it is being shown under the pretext of mocking it, showing how outrageous it is, or how fake it is, but it is shown nonetheless, and being shown is all that is needed for propaganda to be effective.

It is a proven fact that when people hear a lie oft repeated, it makes an impression subconsciously, regardless of any countervailing pretext or subsequent retraction. This phenomenon is the basis for advertising strategies that repeat a message over and over again - no matter how annoying, or how absurd, it leaves an imprint - otherwise why would they spend billions of $ doing it?

If you think there is virtue to posting fake news on FR - that it somehow helps our cause - you are sadly mistaken. You are only helping their cause.

The ONLY way to get rid of the fake news is for people to ignore it, and spreading it here and on Hannity, etc. is no help whatsoever.
