A small band of clever people make fake headlines - Australia...5 min. video


TOPICS: Conspiracy; Humor; Miscellaneous; Society
KEYWORDS: haha; idiots; informationministry; media
(Hope it's ok to put this up mods) This was a great example of how the media (doesn't) work. And why I will contribute to FR, since it's one of the few places remaining to find TRUTH.

Yeah...it is about gorebal warming (and tea party violence, and all of the gagging lies) isn’t it! Good one!

And on the hair, it’s oz, right? :)

I thought it timely, given the recent ramp-up of media lies. It wouldn’t surprise me if some EF (enterprising freeperS) cobbled something together of a similar nature, wink wink.

It’s timely given the recent increase if lefties sending out hoax press releases - eg. last week Code Pink sent out a hoax press release from AIPAC. Big media bit like big fat bass.

Exactly! I mean, how many of these utterly false HOAXES have been embedded in the collective mind now? We’ve been through, ENDURED decades of this &*^&*^#%!

I’m blessed. Throwing away the tube required no discipline on my part what so evah!

I suffer fools much less gladly than I did in youth, and have no time or tolerance for being lied to anymore.

This is just a good example of how vacuous the media is. All sparkling teeth, coiffed hair, faces with no integrity or brains. Whatever they say? The opposite is truth.
(rant over -for now)

Thanks man, appreciate it with the “I got yer back” :_)

Imagine the faux news headlines FReepers could come up with, timed and placed perfectly so that we could witness the egg-on-their-face moment they so richly deserve...

No problem, I hope you get as many views as the cute kitties (as if there were such a thing), recipe, and the sky is falling threads do.
