Sue their pants off.
Somebody needs to fight back.
The Al-Left corporate media is fake news in and of itself.
To WaPO, any site that is right of Mao and Stalin is a ‘fake news’ site..................
This amuses me.
The wheels are falling off the MSM corruption. At last!
Awesome. Kill the enemy with their own weapons.
Liberals have used lawyers and the IRS to attack opponents for years.
Now, it’s our turn. Gut them like fish.
Seems to me that “Fake News” is any story that the MSM does not like.
However the greatest definition of fake news was the lies and deception Americans received on a daily basis by the MSM that Hillary was leading in the polls and was going to win.
Is Pizza Gate fake news? I would tend to disbelieve Pizza Gate. But seeing how much time and energy the MSM spends in denying it leads me to believe it must be true.
The operator of the Denver Guardian admitted to NPR that he was earning thousands of dollars/month.
National Report has become an outright parody/satire website like "The Onion". The masthead has a disclaimer, warning that any resemblance to the truth is coincidental.
However, this list published by the Washington Post is more likely filtered by political ideology, than "fake" or "real".
These newspapers have no official legal standing that allows them to exist as “real news”, as if they are like the police or fire department.
These dusty outlets don’t know what they are messing with when it comes to the new media.
Can this be morphed into a class action suit by all affected parties? Would that be wise?
Isn’t Naked Capitalism a Leftist website, anyways?
At any rate, as a member of the MSM, the Washington Post is one of the leading disseminators of fake news. Trump should immediately revoke their access to White House press conferences, and AG Sessions should look into pushing libel and collusion charges against the MSM.
Liberals can still keep their joke sites like The Young Turks and Democratic Underground for the time being, provided these websites do not engage in government collusion.
When Everything Is 'Fake News'
Yesterday an idiot fired a rifle in a D.C. restaurant because he was trying to investigate "PizzaGate," the latest, dumbest variation on the decades-old series of rumors that the country is governed by secret pedophile rings. (Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.) Since the gunman was inspired by a false story, his crime was promptly blamed on "fake news." Then some pundits tried to link his assault to Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Donald Trump's pick to be national security adviser, on the grounds that Flynn had promoted the PizzaGate story. But it turned out the general had actually been alluding to a separate conspiracy theory, so naturally the accusation against Flynn was then dubbed "fake news" too.
In the long-gone days of early 2016, fake news mostly meant clickbait sites that publish hoaxes, some with a satiric veneer and some just flatly aimed at tricking people; the stories could involve anything from Willie Nelson dying to a woman trying on tampons in a WalMart aisle. These days "fake news" still means that, but it also gets applied to highly partisan outlets that may be sloppy with their facts; and content factories that just don't care about their facts; and Russian disinformation campaigns, real or alleged; and pretty much any conspiracy theory that finds a foothold online. (Like PizzaGate.) Even a police sting got the "fake news" label last week because the operation included a deceptive press release. And of course it's also a phrase that people throw back in the mainstream media's faces any time the press botches a story.
In other words, "fake news" has become a catchall term for saying something false in public, otherwise known as the human condition.
This does not bode well for people who think they can find a fix to "the fake news problem," given that clickbait and rumors and disinformation and sloppy reporting and so on are all different things. They overlap, sure, but they're not the same phenomenon, and you're not going to find a one-size-fits-all solution to them—not unless your solution is "Introduce a little more skepticism to your media consumption habits." Of course, that's a good idea whether or not the news is fake.
CNN was blasting about the "fake" news story about the pizza place....
NOW I KNOW IT ALL MUST BE TRUE.....
me thinks they doth protest too much...
bkmk
We already know the list is politically biased.
