This is fake news
 

It seems some people don't understand what fake news is.... Fake news is not when you make a mistake. It's when you intentionally post misleading information.

Take this photo being passed around from Trump's rally the other day... Looks pretty empty.

Turns out this photo is misleading - it was taken before everyone was let in.

This is what the event really looked like...

Fake news is when something is completely made up, or otherwise staged to be misleading from the start. Fake news is not when a reporter makes a mistake when rushing to get news out there.

Fake News or terrible journalism...whatever you want to call it... just turn off CNN.

Maybe one day you will find the on button for your brain...

Anyone who trusts WaPo or CNN is a fucking idiot.

This dumbass should be fired.

:pimp

Same trick they pulled all through the election but you still bought it.

Those pictures are from different angles and don't appear to have been taken on the same day.

Your claim of "Fake News" might be "Fake News".

:1orglaugh

Fake news is when the story is fake/wrong.
It can be fake by bad intention (the worst) and it can be fake by mistake (justified).

Rochard just refuses to see the truth because it doesn't fit with what he "believes".

All of these "mistakes" happening...starting with the FIRST day of Trump's Presidency when the media lied and said Trump had removed the bust of Martin Luther King from the Oval Office (literally 15 minutes after he assumed power).

Tell us Rochard...WHY wasn't CNN, The Washington Post, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times making these kinds of "Mistakes" when Pres. Obama was in office?

Did all of these lifetime "journalists" suddenly become incompetent once Pres. Trump took office?

Quit being so willfully ignorant.

Dude...they HATE Trump. He made them all (and you) look stupid as fuck on election day. AND...he is the only guy ever to have the balls to call them out.

Normal politicians suck the cock of the media because they are afraid of them. Trump could give two shits about the media. He isn't afraid of them at all

Anyway, the media hates Trump. They never report even ONE positive story about him. Think about that for a second...EVERY story about Trump is negative on CNN.

Even if you fervently want to believe this nonsense...it's just impossible that anyone could do EVERYTHING bad.
Especially when the economy is fucking kicking so much ass since Trump was elected.

Oh, you didn't know that? Of course not. CNN doesn't report about the economy anymore. Or report about ANYTHING anymore.
Just 24 hours of "talk shows" with "panels" all talking about how horrible Trump is.

What a joke.

And here you are defending that shit.

I NEVER watch the news so I wouldn't know..

I am not defending anything. I am pointing out the difference between fake news and a mistake.

It's obvious I dislike trump. However, fake news is fake news. When a reporter intentionally lies with the only intention of making trump look bad, it's fake news, and needs to be accepted as such.

It's gotten to the point where any time one side doesn't like what is being said they call it fake news, even when it's not. This is horrible. "I don't like the message so I'll call it fake".

Robbie, you did this with the CNN fuck up the other day. They made a mistake, but you are calling it fake news when it's not.

You don't have a clue what the "difference" is because you REFUSE to see it in context.
Must be weird to live in that bubble you are in.

You still haven't answered WHY they didn't make all these "mistakes" until Trump was in office. And also...WHY don't they ever make any "mistakes" that make him look good?

Your opinion on this is just fucking dumb.

The "News" is just a TV show. Nobody ever said it was real true stores.

The clueless libs actually think that Obama is the reason the economy is showing the best numbers ever. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Obama Is Thanking Himself, And Taking Credit For Trump?s Economic Improvements

BARACK OBAMA Was Worst Economic President Since 1949 ? Now He?s TAKING CREDIT For Trump?s Booming Economy

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

trump is born leader!

Trump is not a born leader he started a business with a loan from daddy.

So?
I think that Elon Musk is a great businessman and a born leader too.
He has been financed in govt. subsidies of 4.9 BILLION dollars. Does that mean he sucks too?

That argument you just made is ludicrous. Would you have felt better if the govt. got him started like Musk? Yeah, probably...because some people think the govt. IS their "daddy" and should hand them everything.

Me? I think it's great that a father could achieve something and then help his son to achieve even more.
Sounds like an American success story for that family to me.

Do I gather, you Like Trump ? :Graucho

You mean the small loan of $1M, which he was able to parlay into about $10B?

And what would you do with a $1M loan? A weekend of hookers and blow in Vegas? :1orglaugh

I did vote for Trump, and can't wait to do it again. :)

But that isn't the point about this thread.
The media is doing what they are doing in an attempt to unseat a duly elected President of the United States.

For 8 years they never once challenged Pres. Obama's administration. There were no "mistakes" being made on a daily basis.
Fox News was the only news outlet that actually reported when Obama did bad things (like having the FBI hack the emails of reporter James Rosen and several AP reporters, or the "Fast & Furious" gun-running fiasco, or the time he got caught on an open mic assuring the Russians that once the election of 2012 was over he would be more "flexible", and the list goes on).

But even Fox News NEVER used the disrespectful language that MSNBC and CNN are using.
They also never made "mistakes" designed to make Obama look bad.
They also reported his triumphs truthfully.

Of course they always had Hannity doing his opinion show, and he hated Obama....but they also actually do the NEWS. And they also had President Obama on air on Fox News with really good interviews with O'Reilly.
Shepard Smith's news hour on Fox News was entirely fair to Obama. And has been harshly critical of Trump when they perceive the President might be wrong.

CNN has done exactly ZERO positive story's on the President.

They don't report any of his triumphs.

And unless you watch his speeches or read his Twitter feed you would never know anything he has done...if you watch CNN...in other words you would be a low-information person just like Rochard has become.

This lying by the press and attempts to sway public opinion to one party over the other is very serious.

Luckily...CNN is no longer a trusted news outlet. They are a distant third in the ratings. Fox is number one. MSNBC a distant second. And CNN a far, far distant third with a dismal 650,000 viewers. Really bad.

I looked up the top shows on cable news. 4 of the top 5 are on Fox News Channel.
Hannity is number 1
Tucker Carlson is number 2
Rachel Maddow is number 3 (the ONLY non-Fox News show that is in the ratings)
4 and 5 are also FNC shows.

People just don't trust CNN or MSNBC. Too many "mistakes" keep happening over and over.
Too much was revealed about their collusion with Hillary in WikiLeaks hacked emails of John Podesta.

They have been revealed to be EXACTLY what they have been accused of for decades: Just a propaganda tool of the DNC

Here in the U.S., if you want to see an honest news hour...watch Shepard Smith's news hour on Fox.
It's not a talk show, it's not opinion. He does the NEWS.

I put CNN in my office at 6am on Friday and had it running in the background till about 10pm.

I'm not kidding, the ENTIRE fucking time, save for about 10 minutes they covered the CA wild fires, all they did was trash Trump non-stop. Who is watching that shit? No wonder why their ratings are in the shitter.

What the hell happened to CNN??

Libsters can not put anything against well structured objective posts like that. :thumbsup

Although as top 5 shows - crooked media has much more big channels, so it is easier for FOX to gather the viewers as there are not that much competition (as on the other side - cnn, msnbc, abc, nbc and whatever splitting the libby viewers)

GUILTY.

I knew it.

Wouldn't be the first time now would it?

Trump started a war with the press. The press isn't going to do him any favors. The mainstream press - which is ALL of the press except for FOX, Breitbart, and a handful silly websites - are stunned on how the press has been treated.

But Robbie - who clearly has voted for Trump and vote for him again - missed the entire point of this thread. (Yes, it was directed at YOU Robbie.) A reported sent out what was fake news and it's being treated as such. This was intentional, and meant to make Trump look bad. I do not like trump, but I understand what fake news is and I know it when I see it.

Fake news is not a reporter who made a mistake on a date.

Fake news is when a reporter intentionally makes up news that is completely false.

Please Robbie, tell us what he has done. In your own words. Don't cut and paste some bullshit from a site, tell us in your own words what Trump has done.


We disagree on a lot of things, but I never call you names or imply you are dumb.

Keep in mind that independent journalists have a bigger audience.

The biggest news website in the world is Drudge Report

When you factor in radio and youtube, Infowars has 10 times the audience of cable news. Hannity & Tucker have the best cable news shows :2 cents:

Not implying you are dumb Rochard. I'm saying you are willfully ignorant.
You don't want to know the truth.
If I came across as calling you names I apologize.

IMHO fake news are propagated by real idiots :stoned

I see the chump cock gobblers are out in full force. Gobble Gobble

Yep, he's guilty of being objective :2 cents:

I know Im wasting my time here but you dont realize in our country after mortgage bubble, our currency had almost collapsed. So he is right. The benefits you are seeing now is Obama not Trump. Trump besides grandstanding really hasnt done much. He took away a bunch of regulations which we will all feel the after effects of. Like how the easing of those nasty bank regulations caused the mortgage collapse. This new tax bill will fuck us all and then there will be a DEM president and people like Robbie will have the balls to blame him and cry about the debt which doesnt seem to matter anymore.

Please tell us the truth not propaganda you so want to believe.

Fake News is a term Trump made his own and his voters eat up. Everything out there is a lie only believe me I have your best interests at heart. A man who has a history of fucking people and lying. The media is bad but media made trump, tons a free coverage during the election. Dont remember him or his followers crying then.

You are saying I am "willfully ignorant" but I am saying the same thing about you. Right is right and wrong is wrong, always, no matter if it supports my position or not. In this case, a reporter created fake news in an attempt to make Trump look bad. This is fake news, an attempt to make Trump look bad, and is nothing more than fake news. I don't like Trump, and I'll take any chance to slam him, but I can see the truth and I know fake news when I see it. It is you who cannot see the truth.

Fake news is when a reported makes up something that is not true. Fake news is not when someone makes a mistake and then quickly retracts it the same day.

Yep

if there's one thing that's truly revolutionary about the Trump presidency it's that him acting like a bait makes it easier than ever to spot these so called "news" outlet's true colors and what special interests they push.

Stopped watching or reading "news" long time ago - most of it is completely unbearable. Every establishment news outlet descended into an uncontrolled mass hysteria. Watching such news is like trying to talk to an incoherent, hysterical woman that can't shut up and is in a desperate need of a bitch slap.

Tucker Carlson is the one rare exception of a man on TV that I find smart, entertaining, fair and level-headed.

You've got it completely backwards. The ones who introduced the term 'fake news' were CNN, and that's a fact. They introduced it before the elections, and it was extremely ironic they of all people introduced it: At that time there were constant inaccurate reports about Trump (like it still is now). They let the people believe Clinton would win with a landslide, never ever showing a balance or objectivity in reporting. It was as one sided as it gets.

Trump took this term from CNN, and flipped it on them, because of the irony of a "news" channel blaming their online competitors of 'fake news', yet constantly reporting opinions laced with lies, instead of reporting fact based objective actual news.

You think so ... ???? Damn, I would of never guessed !

Why ?

For the comedy value of his tweets ?

Or your enjoying the nuclear brinkmanship with Rocketman ?

I dont think it will be because of the fab wall he built.

Or the way he put China in its place ?

sure ....

from the horse's mouth .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I suppose " alternate facts " is CNN creation as well ?

Because he repealled OBAMACARE !!!!!

The reporter knows what he did, it's fake news, not a mistake.

The mainstream media is owned by a few people who decide what to publish. The people who don't see the reality of the working classes.

This too , fake news ?

Fox News amends erroneous story claiming Roy Moore accuser 'forged' yearbook signature

Like the idea of putting the words "fake" and "news" together.
"The media is really, the word, one of the greatest of all terms I've come up with, is 'fake,'"


Wow, even the description is false, he talks about the media, and he says they are fake... Nowhere you see the "putting the words fake and news together" in this quote. Christ what a fail.

The first one who coined the term "fake news" was CNN. Still a fact dude. You can squirm, twist, and post quotes that don't say it at all... it stays the fact.

Here it is, straight from one of your allies:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.017ccd666734

Bye bye :smilie_we

Lol! Even that text you quoted is in that article, an article debunking Trump coined the term :1orglaugh Double fail :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

But he is not being objective -at all.

That's what this post is about - being objective. Instead of slamming tRUMP by posting fake news, I'm pointing out that it is fake news. But Robbie doesn't care at all. His stance is that CNN posted fake news last week. Robbie is all about "I voted for tRUMP, and I can't wait to vote for him again".

Yes I am being objective Rochard.
YOU are the one making excuses for media bias.
I've asked you over and over one simple thing:
If these are just "mistakes" by the media...why didn't they make daily "mistakes" when Pres. Obama was in office & why do all of these "mistakes" only make Trump look bad and NEVER good?

When you stop and think
intelligently about it, the blinders will come off your eyes.
You can still hate Trump AND hate what the media is doing to the very concept of journalism

The Hillbots have been blinded by fake news (which the Dems control)

Nico is correct- It wasn't Trump who started using the term "fake news," it was the MSM when they were trying to deny that the Podesta Wikileak emails are real.

The term "fake news" has been around at least 12 years. Indy journalist John Rappaport owns the website http://nomorefakenews.com since 2005.

Rochard, please get some real news. Try Zero Hedge :2 cents:

fake news is emotionally misleading. pretty sure the pic you posted was blasted all over GFY and the mainstream media. with the EXPRESS intention of fucking Trump.


I call that 'lack of personal integrity' you say 'fake news'... whatever :1orglaugh

You are never objective.

Jerusalem is a perfect example. You are fully behind this. EVERYONE in the WORLD is against this, The United Nations is against this, the EU is against this, There are protests against this, the Palestinians are furious, and any chance of any kind of peace in the Middle East is gone, completely gone. Your only justification for this is "it doesn't make sense for the US not to have an embassy in Jerusalem". Yet you want the United States to be the only one to move their embassy to Jerusalem?

I knew nothing about the Jerusalem issue. I researched on it on my own, never saw anything on the news about it, and came to the obvious conclusion that there is no reasonable reason for us to move the embassy to Jerusalem, which is why the past three presidents didn't do it, there is no upside to this, and this will only cause huge problems.

But instead you believe your party line.
