I think pushing the sexual assault charges (particularly the woman who said she was assualted by Trump at 13 years of age) qualifies as fake news.
The NDAA of 2012 authorized propaganda use against American citizens.
The renewal authorizes control of outside sources,http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3503030/posts, we no longer have a free press.
We no longer will have the ability to seek out truth-telling sources.
I keep reposting this as it seems many of us have missed the links and pieces of the puzzle. Our information access has now been denied.
Don’t forget #fakeschool
Ask a college student which was the party of slavery, or which party got us into the Vietnam war.
Most will get it wrong.
Most will also know of Japanese internment camps, but not know of any of Japan’s barbary during the war.
Most will connect Hitler with conservatism.
Most believe Cuba has a healthcare system superior to ours.
Etc.
The news wanted you to believe Travon Martin was just a little kid. Remember the pictures? They went as far to make Zimmerman look white.
You can add hundreds, if not thousands, of “hate crime” hoaxes that have been breathlessly reported or headlined in the media, and yammered about for days, weeks, months, only to find out that they were lies. But, by then all the handwringing, denunciations, self-flagellation, and demonstrations had taken place. No apologies are ever offered for yet again falling for one hoax after another. These hoaxes many times result in physical assaults directed against innocent people or public or private property being destroyed.
Don’t forget Janet Cooke who was Jason Blair before jason blair.
Hillary’s Benghazi video.
let’s not forget the Duke Lacrosse case “rape” scandal.
Richard Jewell, Wrongly Accused of Atlanta Olympics Bombing Dead at 44
RIP
Hillary is dangerous and must immediately be imprisoned NOW!
One of the best articles I have read in a long time. Concise and illustrates many of the best examples. I would have added another angle on this with a couple of examples.
#1 - the failure of the media to excoriate and/or investigate Benghazi. From the fake video to the facts about what occurred the media lied, covered, and granted a pass to the administration. Contrast this with the hysterical reactions to bad things that happened under the Bush administration.
#2 - The continuing lie of “no WMD in Iraq.” There were WMD there and this occurred at the same time our soldiers were being hit with IED’s using Iraq’s massive stockpile of artillery shells (to include chemical shells). The military chose not to announce this for the safety of our troops, but it is time for the truth to be told. Furthermore, they ignored the string of convoys headed into Syria from Iraq prior to the invasion. This one still makes me angry to this day. Furthermore, the media regularly proclaim that the Bush administration lied about the intelligence. They did not. Everyone, and I mean everyone, to include the Russians, Israelis, British, French, Germans, and the UN investigators said they were there.
Do these constitute “fake news?” I think they do. How about a comparison of the Scooter Libby fiasco with Hillary’s criminal acts with classified information? Perhaps they are too busy getting their marching orders from the DNC and Clinton campaign.
The biggest “fake news” (that just cost them the White House) was the faux recovery/unemployment < 5% BS. The truth had become impossible to conceal; I was shocked it didn’t cost Obama his job in 2012.
Silly me, I thought since Shillery lost I wouldn’t have to hear her shrill whining on tv anymore.
It goes way back, leftist fake news. The Chevrolet Corvair being “unsafe at any speed” springs to mind. Before that, there was the shameful smearing of Barry Goldwater. It’s been a constant stream for as long as there has been television and likely before even that. Television and radio news have long been controlled by the left, but were better able to conceal that fact in the past. No more.
