Whose news is fake?

The Democrat party is trying to define the sharing of emails as fake news to cover up how despicable they are.

Well, if the people actually demanded better news, and bought from those companies that provide better news, then you'd get better news.

But people complaining about the media being biased, then buying biased media is complete hypocrisy. The same as electing politicians and then saying that nothing they do is in the name of the people.

You can't make excuses.

I'm not sure that is necessarily true.

If the system is a monopoly, what choice do they have?

People can support independent journalists, they still exist. Though they are increasingly threatened by the Starkey's of the world.

Followed by a train toting your psychobaggage, no doubt...

How do you distinguish " independent journalist" from "clickbait rube rancher"?

But I'm not the problem...the problem is the disquieting number of idiots who uncritically huff from the font of FOX, Drudge, Breitbart etc, and believe themselves informed.

And then go out and vote accordingly....

Lots of blame to go around. I don't think scapegoating "fake news" is going to solve anything. Americans have been the victims of propaganda for so long now we as a whole are very confused. Time to slow down and not let the purveyors of propaganda (the corporate media) send us into a deeper hole where we start accepting censorship.

Besides, fake news didn't cost Clinton the election, her neo conservative, neo liberal positions did as far as I'm concerned.

 

[foggedinn]

It isn't always easy to distinguish fake news from news that isn't fake.
Distinguished journalists have been fooled, I've been fooled, and so has everyone who has posted here.

 

[EverCurious]

I think the only way to combat is to read news from all over the place, right side, left side, global news, etc. Problem is, folks don't have the time nor give a shit to actually do it so they allow biased reports to feed their world.

Most don't have the interest. Many prefer that their take is reality, whether it is or not.

They could, but they won't and don't. People are more interested in hearing what they want to hear.

You do realize that half the people on this board can't actually read a whole paragraph without getting bored, don't you? So, those journalists are on to a losing thing, as most of the people aren't their audience.
