First Annual Fake News Awards

[Cancel 2020.1]

if it was reported by the news as news, it was fake news.....

But it wasn't. It was an opinion piece.

You're aware that print journalism has opinion sections, and broadcast journalism has opinion shows...correct?

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

I read it in a newspaper, reported as news......go ahead and deny that.......it will just be another one of your lies......

Would you happen to have a link for that one?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Damocles is another that is confusing opinions with actual news stories.

and your confusing outright lies with actual news stories.......

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

and he was accurate every time.......why do you deny it?......they were in fact, lying each time.......

He was?

He was accurate about birtherism, and Cruz's father?

He was accurate about how his tax plan affects him personally?

He was accurate about Obama wiretapping him?

You sure about all of that, PMP?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

You have no idea how accurate that statement is. 'Snowflakes', throughout history, was used to refer to White Supremacists.

oh for fucks sake.......stop trying to hide from yourself........you're a fucking anti-Trump whiner.......you're a snowflake......live with your shame.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

He's a student of Hitler. He studied Hitler's quotes. Nobody did it better.

lying cunt.....and more fake news.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Pretty low rate of error.

pretty low rate of facing up to their dishonesty.....there have been more than 18 instances of fake news just since Trump's health report was issued.......

 

[domer76]

It's a spell. It will break, and then there will be either denial, or contrition. Perhaps a combination of the two.

With FOOLISS, it is:

Miscomprehend
Twist
Distort
Lie

Same pattern, every time. Then comes the obsession and stalking.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

These aren't overblown fears. There is plenty of historical precedent; it is generally a gradual discrediting and dismantling, and not the strawman of "has Trump made the press illegal" or repealed the 1st amendment.

And there is no question whatsoever that this has been a relentless campaign on Trump's part & the part of his admin and supporters. "Fake news" has lost meaning because it has been repeated so much. And it is a campaign which has been effective.

This isn't a few offhand remarks. This is an organized effort to completely undermine the media.

when has the media lied about things as much as they have in the last 18 months?......liars SHOULD be undermined......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

The media are doing their jobs. The press is a watchdog - it's not a cheerleader.

bullshit....the press is an arm of the DNC and consider themselves the "resistance"....

 

[domer76]

The media is doing *their damndest* to undermine a president. A duly elected president.

There’s your threat to democracy.

lol

Exposing his chronic lies is a threat to democracy? Laughable

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Because I suggested you breathe when you're clearly enraged & out of control?

Interesting. Just tryin' to help.

and you are simply sitting back and calmly lying out of your ass?.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Krugman presented that as opinion.

It wasn't "fake news."

bullshit.....it was reported as news by dozens of sources.......

and you are simply sitting back and calmly lying out of your ass?.......

Please cite a lie I have told.

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

bullshit.....it was reported as news by dozens of sources.......

Krugman's opinion was "reported as news?"

A link would sure be nice on that one.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

As I said repeatingly, it cracks one up when a conservative suddenly shows a concern about lies

Legion, you spend 100% of your time posting lies to this board......so kindly go fuck yourself......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

But it wasn't. It was an opinion piece.

You're aware that print journalism has opinion sections, and broadcast journalism has opinion shows...correct?

bullshit......why do you take the time to defend lies?.....

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

bullshit......why do you take the time to defend lies?.....

You're saying it wasn't an opinion piece?

Really?
