It is finally sinking through. 46% OF PEOPLE BELIEVE MAJOR NATIONAL NEWS ORGS FABRICATE STORIES ABOUT ME. FAKE NEWS, even worse! Lost cred.
an honest poll would show the percentage to be 67 or above.
Hows your 401k doing?
I’m not sure news is fabricated as in an outright lie completely made up, though that does sometimes happen especially at CNN...
It’s more like reported as such...
“Donald Trump walks on Water” would be reported as “Donald Trump can’t swim”...
Whatever the story is, it must fit into the Trump narrative and template ...
Un-freaking-believable. Yahoo news is one of the worst. I absolutely love to scan their site to compare the stories to other news sites.
They change stories just slightly in an attempt to give a negative connotation. They alter photos to make folks look pitiful/angry/evil. Adjusting contrast, brightness, color.
Despicable stuff.
Agreed. Yahoo News is propaganda.
So is most of the rest of the media, including Fox News Radio (”fair and balanced” my ass).
My question is... are these people just fellow travelers or is someone calling the shots?
A further 20% of people ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN the media fabricates stories.
Hate must be kept alive as a motivator. Hate helps the ratings. The media deliberately works to make people angry.
Hate helps people unite with friends who flock together.
Hate bonds the ties of division. Us against them our enemy, motivates people to watch the political sport. Peace, harmony and cooperation does not work as well as promoting unrest and hatred. It is not right to utilize hatred and conflict, but it must be profitable.
(I don’t think FNC uses the slogan “fair and balanced) any more.)
“Reporting” the news is not something the media does, but “distorting” and “twisting” the facts is their specialty.
Yes, this is exactly what is being done by the MSM! They did the same thing "reporting" about the Tea Party movement in order to make us out to be racist rednecks and they're doing the same about we "deplorables" and Trump himself. Been there, done it, have the T-shirt!
Half of the other 54% will never believe anything good about Trump.
For them, that Trump is the ultimate evil, and murderous, crooked Hillary!™ is a paragon of beauty, sobriety, health and virtue is an article of faith...
George Orwell was a piker. In 1984, a book we regard as a waring, and they regard as a manual, he only envisioned two minutes of hate every day.
We get it 24/7 from “our” media...
Let me rephrase that...
The 2 minute hate has been reduced to 24 hours...
“I’m not sure news is fabricated as in an outright lie completely made up, though that does sometimes happen especially at CNN...”
Oh BS! If you had just suffered through Jane Pauley on Sunday Morning you would have seen her coverage of Morning Joe and his soon to be bride. It was all about them and attacking Trump.
PMSNBC, with very poor ratings, is now a topic on CBS! It’s all unified when they are attacking our president.
Beady eyed Joe and his skank girlfriend slut who cheated with him on her last husband.
Oh brother what a bunch of rats.
Exactly.
Msm is a globalist propaganda tool run by Deep State.
Major papers such as WaPo (bezos) and NYT (Carlos slim) are little more than billionaires’ blogs to buy influence and avoid paying taxes.
The media is corrupt. Look at the fake Russian dossier that for months was the basis of night sfter night of “news.” Then the real story breaks - clintons and Obama selling out uranium to our enemies - and that’s ignored.
Trump is right to attack the media. He’s dead on correct.
“fair and balanced”.
Now it’s “we report, you decide”.
So you are saying MSNBC and CBS, CNN just make up stories out of whole cloth instead of manipulating the news to fit their Trump narrative ?
Every idiot thing that comes out of their mouths are based on some “fact” real or perceived...
That doesn’t make it true, just they do it to drive ratings from their moonbat base...
