Unintended consequences of the right wing mantra of "fake news"...

[nat4900]

An interesting and thorough study by a leading Ivy League institution, shows the unintended and unexpected consequence of right wingers' (including Trump) moronic mantra of calling anything that they don't like, "fake news" ......Or the inane label that the orange clown gave mainstream media, calling it the "enemy of the people" when such outlets criticized his very thin skin.


A report, published by the Columbia Journalism Review, does an excellent job of laying out the challenge posed by Breitbart and its ilk, it is less than clear on how to counter it. Successfully standing up for truthful reporting in this environment “could usher in a new golden age for the Fourth Estate,” the authors write. But members of the public who care about such journalism are already flocking to news organizations like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and, locally, The Boston Globe, all of which have experienced a surge in paid subscriptions since the election of President Trump. That’s heartening.

Here’s a novel idea, why don’t they tell the news for a change, and not make up so much that isn’t true.
It’s not Trumps fault the media doesn’t make sure their stories are true, they just print hear say and then retract it on a back page if it’s not true, and most people don’t even see the retraction do they.

Do you mean like Comey's statement that Clinton's investigation was RESTARTED 11 days before an election.......and a few days later, Comey basically stating, "ooops, never mind, there's no investigation of Hillary"????

Any right winger who actually places on the same accuracy the "reporting" of Breitbart or Info Wars or Gateway Pundit........with, the Washington Post or New York Times, is fully a Trump cultist devoid of ANY common sense.

In other words, a bunch of butt stain regressives got together and wrote up a bunch on misleading bullshit in support of the MSM scum. That about cover it? amirite?

But what would all the newly unemployed lying reporters do for a living?

 

[nat4900]

The good consequence is that Trump's calling the mainstream media an "enemy of the people" has actually boosted the bottom line of profits for that same mainstream media.........Again, unexpected consequences.

So, it's NOT true that you cultists, when Trump OPENLY lies, revert to calling those lies, "harmless sarcasm"???

Why would they investigate Hillary just because she spread classified info far and wide?

The State Department posted a number of emails belonging to former top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin on Friday after the messages were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop by the FBI. Several of the released documents were found to contain information classified "confidential," and were heavily redacted.

Three days ago.......why isn't Hillary (and Huma) on trial yet?

Thanks nat4900
I guess this is like how Obama made gun sales skyrocket???

The term "fake news" was created by Democrats to slam entities like Fox News and Breitbart. It's interesting how they now want to pin the phrase on the right. It's another example of how something diabolical blew up in their face. It's now become synonymous with the mainstream media who have removed any pretense of being fair and objective journalists in order to promote a purely political agenda.

......screw up Trump's claim that he brought unemployment down more than any living person EVER in the history of the planet???.............LOL

Wrong. They are intelligent and observant. Both the NYT and WAPO have been caught publishing fake news many times.

 

[whitehall]

Skewed left wing logic? Fake news is good because people are flocking to the NY Times and the Post since Trump was elected. Flocking is kind of an odd word to use but it fits into the fake news agenda because it's relatively meaningless.
