One form of fake news is to claim something happened when it never did. Another form of fake news is to claim something did not happen when in fact it actually did - especially when said claim is designed to cast aspersions on someone else. And if you’re the New York Times, you can take this to an even higher level: You can report something that appears to cast aspersions on someone you don’t like (aka “a Republican”), and then, when it comes to light that this something is actually not true and that the person who made the claim now looks like a total # for having said it, you simply delete the reference and pretend you never reported it.
Ah, the famous “Memory hole” the press made heavy use of in the past when caught out there.
Down the memory hole.
Yet another form of Fake News is to neglect to report something, at all. A pertinent example would be the news that Teddy Kennedy approached the Russians via Senator Tunney to derail the candidacy of Ronald Reagan in 1984.
Of course, if it doesn’t get reported, (by other than Forbes), then it didn’t really happen and you don’t even need a memory hole! How convenient!
Amazing the amount of sleaze/lies/etc that the Media is willing to ‘disappear’ to cover for the Dems. I remember looking into Obama’s history back in 2007. I found that one of the few votes he took in the Illinois Legislature, was to vote against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. I doubt that info is still available on the Internet. I then knew he had no conscience and tried to warn all my friends to that end. Only half of them listened to me.
1984
Raise your hand if you’ve never met with the Russian ambassador.
Much like the NY Slimes hiding of Stalin’s genocide in The Ukraine.
Nothing has changed.
