What bigger purveyor of “fake news” is there other than Reuters and the AP?

[Mr. K]

does anyone know who this “alt-right’ thingy is?

[Gene Eric]

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

[Steely Tom]

Yeah, can anyone post a link for the ‘alt-right’ ?

[Jim Robinson]

Fake news outlet instructing others in the art of faking news.

Incorrect usage: The alt-right in general supports Trump.

Correct usage: The alt-right is made up of violent racists who support the racist Donald Trump whose supporters are all violent racists.

Sen. Robert KKK Bird was ‘alt-right’?

Who knew?

[x]

It cuts both ways, though. AP is saying some groups claim to be "alt-right" to promote themselves. Far more common: groups will be labeled "alt-right" by opponents to discredit or malign them.

If papers and journalists do have to give context and evidence when they talk about the "alt-right" it would be a very good thing, but I don't know if the press actually restrict themselves in that way when it goes against their own agenda.

It's another hit piece by the AP: CTRL-LEFT.

[Still Thinking]

....and here I thought it was a keystroke combo!

[TomGuy]

AP’s article is about as confusing as using ‘Alt-right’.

Clinton tried to use it to villainize Trump, but most who heard it were sort of like ‘who? huh?’

It is a nonsensical that can have numerous contexts and definitions.

It was used in this election cycle by those who were being too cute by half. It failed.

[Yulee]

So, what are Alt-Left?

Seems to me that the majority of those running for office as a Democrat are “Alt-Left”, or outright Socialists.

[WayneS]

the term may exist primarily as a public-relations device to make its supporters' actual beliefs less clear and more acceptable to a broader audience."

I thought "alt-right" was a pejorative term imposed on certain people by the MSM.

[Blue Jays]

My leftwinger friends randomly insert the silly phrase alt-right about five times into every sentence spoken from their mouths.
The comical part is they had never used those words together until sometime in late-October or so. Utterly mindless phrase.

[Flavious_Maximus]

The democrat party propaganda organs got tired of going after the Tea Party, so now the Alt-Right is the new boogy man.

Eventually, the rat media will realize that their endless accusations against the Alt-Right will only help the Alt-Right.

Free publicity and all that.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I don’t think it is breaking news that FR is the home of the Alt Right.

I have been trying this out among libs and I think we should embrace the term “Alt Right” with slogans like:

Alt Right: You are not a nut if the conspiracy is true.

The Alt Right is right!

Ect.

I’ve tried different comebacks and different terms for the left, but the best one in my field test remains the oldie but goodie, Kool Aide drinkers.

It leaves libs sputtering and unable to reply the times I’ve used it.

[Theo]

This is a good thing. Instead of throwing the term around, implying that is has *anything at all* with the conservative right, they are stating that the term must be clearly defined and only used in reference to neo-nazi-ish organizations.

[TBP]

Well, that should be true for any label.

[vooch]

just make certain to mention the names of fake news sites often
