I hear the men's room is especially productive if you take a wide stance.

This article seems fitting:
https://theintercept.com/...n-the-russia-threat/

It's not just CNN. These stories are coming out weekly from 'unnamed sources' with breathless reports of Russian hacking and connections, they fly around the twittersphere and spend 2-3 days floating across social media and discussed on national and local news outlets...then three weeks later they're quietly retracted--usually without a new correction article (that people see, as current news) but instead as headers on the existing, now buried article.

The funny thing is what Russia is accused of doing--planting fake stories and promoting them through social media--is pretty much what's happening with our sensationalist and Trump-obsessed media.

It certainly is. It wasnt always the case but their renovations and decision to have a lot of local restaurants instead of all chains made it a good place to wait for a flight.

This morning I pulled up CNN mobile and Fox mobile. CNN had 8 click bait stories on the healthcare bill and there was not a single article on the Fox main mobile page on the healthcare bill.

Both edges of the spectrum are questionable at best news.


True, but the left edge of the spectrum actively and knowingly writes things that are false. Fauxnews, while it is right biased, at least doesn't make shit up completely out of thin air and/or collude with political parties to help their preferred candidates win debates.

Bias is one thing, knowingly making fake news is another.


BWAAHHAA, phew thanks I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Fox is nothing more than the National Enquirer for tv.

Thanks for the input. But can you answer the questions I posed above which might equate CNN's egregious partisan falsities to anything Faux has done?

Nobody disagrees that their coverage is biased...but I haven't seen anything AS egregious as what CNN has done at Faux.

Google "Fake news Macedonia"

Long story short, bunch of kids were making lots of money publishing websites/news that exhibited news that was fake but that people wanted to read....just like what CNN is doing.

Whats a real news organization?

The kind that was around when Woodward and Bernstein were ordered to have two reliable named sources.

Some of you people defending your side are very entertaining. So happy to be dumb and blind.

Geez, get it right.

Trump = Mussolini

Straight away, Hitler got some things done.
Infrastructure? Autobahns.
Jobs? VW Beetles.
Defeating your enemies? Poland
(We're still waiting on Trump to do something about this stuff.)

Check out YouTube for the Trump = Mussolini videos and see how funny/creepy that comparison can be.
