It's still a nothing burger goofy. Like I've been telling you for a long time.

You should listen to me. I keep getting proved right time and time again.

Even trump says its stopping him from getting done what he wants so thats something...

You got so embarrassed in the Comey thread when it was revealed Trump was under investigation by Mueller that you stopped posting in it.

And did you notice how, by saying in his Fox interview that his "tapes" tweet was successful 5D genius intended to make Comey tell the truth, he accidentally confirmed that Comey's Senate testimony (including all the stuff about Trump's lies and leaning on him) was accurate?

President under criminal investigation by a special prosecutor = "nothingburger" LMAO

What is Fake News?

ahahha i watched that

lol

So you people don't know what 'News' means huh?

What a wild time to be alive.

Wait until you see what my investigator colleagues in Russia come back with. We can't even believe what their finding.

Campaign manager being paid $17 million to put a pro-Russia party in power in the Ukraine is a nothingburger these days. Manafort was just the Trump campaign manager, its not like Trump really had anything to with the guy. Sick and tired of all the damn liberals saying the campaign manager of the Trump campaign had anything to do with the Trump campaign. That's just absurd!

Fake news is news which is somehow fake. A sitcom set in a newsroom would contain fake news, that is whatever news which is scripted for the sitcom.

Fake fake news is like when trump calls news "fake news" because he can't handle it's not fake and calling it fake is a every easy thing to do.

"fake news" is an artificial term, more recently used as an excuse by republicans and conservatives to avoid responsibility for what ever is the news they can't handle.

Actually, I think it's less the consolidation of media and more the abundance of choice that has lead to the latest disarray. Technology (the internet mostly) has continued to produce more and more platforms for alternative media, which has decentralized ownership of the "narrative". It's probably true that MSM sources are consolidating, but that's due to their market shares being under constant assault.

Your meme fell for a line. Even worse than news having troubles, is hearing about what the news is from people who get troubles from the news.

The Clinton News Network has been confirmed fake just in the last few days. Don't you watch the news?

i seriously don't remember the left spiking the football this much of Faux News' retraction of the seth rich conspiracy

odd that one single instance of a retraction makes the right completely lose their minds

in fact, the response being so different is probably noteworthy:

In fact, let's compare the numbers:

CNN

Fox



http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/fox/

But politifact is fake news too. In fact, all facts are fake news, except the ones that make Donald Trump look good.

The abundance of choice is an illusion. One company will own hundreds of outlets. But I don't see how abundance of choice would be to blame for the problems you mentioned.

Has the platform provided by newer technology delivered where MSM can't or won't? I don't think so, but it is not an easy question to answer. Imagine that you were a billionaire. Are you going to be looking to invest money in starting an online newspaper when trusted industry names are flailing in their attempts for find a profitable model? And if you did you would just find yourself chasing the prized demographics and operating with profits in mind, lowering of standards be damned.

What we need here is something like the BBC. Take a little out of the military budget and put it into commercial free broadcasting subject to democratic controls. This is how most developed democracies do it.

I get most of my news from NPR, podcasts and youtoobs.

Shockingly none of our liberal truth seekers had anything to say about this article. If it goes against the narrative it really doesn't matter who writes it. That's not to say that GG, the guy voted most slurpable journalist five years in a row by the lefto politards wasn't already persona non grata for stepping out of line a while back, but that's all moot. The narrative is strong, and all important, and must be protected at all costs.


Go insertidioticpoliticalfootballteamnamehere!

i think most of the people here are smart enough to have harkin on ignore

haha, fair enough

Its not fake news Russia tried to hack our election machines or committed the largest cyber attack in our history against one of our most important rights. That is unless you disbelieve the IC who are overwhelmingly saying that and have some conspiracy's of your own. Kind of a big story no?


It is also true both of you support a president who has done nothing about that. Big odd story there too.

Why does donnie not want to defend us or put sanctions on the Russians. Why are so many Americas a ok with it. Strange new doings among reps.

For the middle of the road non cable news watching person, this did not come as a shock. Every time I visit my mother since the election, who keeps CNN on 24/7 as background noise, a quick peek tells me that yes, they're still talking about Russia Trump conspiracies. And to think, we have OJ Simpson to thank for all of this.
