I just call it... fake news.

Yeah, and too many here fell for it. One would think they would have learned to consider the source by now, and wait for it to come straight from the horse's mouth.

“Selective Rumor Mongering” is not “news”, but it is profitable.

“Yeah, and too many here fell for it.”

it’s ALWAYS amazing to me how many Freepers fall for fake news. They must not read the articles or even skim them, or are completely without reading discrimination.

They do not seem to realize that news is fake when an entire article relies on:

“reportedly”

“sources”

“knowledgeable sources”

“knowledgeable officials”

all of the above and many more are guaranteed indicators that the “news” is fake, and is not worthy to comment on except to note that the “news” is fake. those kinds of articles shouldn’t even be posted here except as examples of fake news.
