Why does fake news matter NOW?

[TNHarley]

Because its your marching orders. That's the only fucking reason. You idiots blame fake news for Clinton losing when we have had fake news forever. Never occurs to you that she was absolutely fucking terrible. Lost to Trump FFS.
You people really need to face reality.

And it has the added benefit of being able to allow smearing of opinion pieces from the right. They just label places like Briebart "fake news" even though Briebart is up front about it being a "conservative news and opinion site"

Is there even a consensus on what fake news actually is? Or are you bedwetters going to rape the meanings of those words, too? You know, just throw them around like its nothing?

Fake news is the new term liberals came up with to describe conservative news. Sort of like when they went from global warming to climate change, or when they went from liberals to progressive. When liberals find terms that don't work for them, they just create new terms to replace them.

Bed wetters don't just deal in "fake news", they create FAKE ISSUES.

Global Warming, "gay marriage" fruit cakes in ladies shitters, queers in the military, "hands up don't shoot", "requiring ID is "vote suppression", war on women...

These are all issues that were created with fake news. Liberalism is constructed out of complete bullshit. Judging from the last election most of the country recognized it outside of commiefornia.

The right invented the idea of "fake news". Only they called it "the liberal media". Many of them didn't even think Trump would win. They spent months blaming "the liberal media" for his potential loss.

Republicans popularized the term climate change because they thought it sounded less extreme.

Fake news is every story that the white house/US state department disagrees with, but only until jan 20, after that it will be just the opposite

That's because the liberal media is fake news, however the DNC propagandists coined the term "fake news" rather than acknowledge their own bullshit and attempt to label everything except leftist propaganda as "fake news".

You're spot on about the rest. Right up until the last 2 weeks I was sure hitlery was on the way in.

The relief that she isn't is tangible.

No, the Republicans had nothing to do with that.

When it was proven that the earth stopped warming, the liberals didn't know what to do. How do they keep promoting this lie? So they changed it from global warming to climate change, because the climate always changes. It's been changing since God created this planet. Therefore no matter how wrong they are, they can always say they are right. The climate is changing.

Much of the media is liberal, but it's not always fake. I've seen people on this very board dismiss stories as "liberal media bias" because the media repeated exactly what someone on the right actually said. Hell, they threw Fox News under the bus because Megyn Kelly questioned Trump on things that actually came out of his mouth.

You mean at the debate where she didn't know her role? GRANTED most of our "debates" are bullshit

Popularized probably isn't the best term. They utilized it. In 2002 Frank Luntz advised the Bush administration to start using the term "climate change" because it sounded less severe.

No, the conservatives were upset because Kelly was trying to create controversy just for ratings. The questions she asked had nothing to do with policies or the presidency. She decided she wanted to be Howard Stern instead of a Fox reporter.

Fake means not true, fictitious, a statement that can not be supported by evidence.
Predictions cannot be "fake," however the facts supporting a prediction can. The Climate Change debate, and the daily polls and even the Vegas bet boys saying Clinton would win the election are predictions, not "fake."
Opinionated commentary such as is used on Fox News and CNN is not fake if the actual events and words reported are accurate. Which statements or incidents a news outlet chooses to focus on and the "spin" they choose to give it are a "bias," not fake.
Pizzagate was "fake." It never happened and there is absolutely no evidence of a pedophile ring run by the Clinton folks in that pizza store. I saw the lengthy video "reporting" on it, and it was well done and pretty persuasive, but total and complete bullshit.
That stuff can be dangerous. Most fake news is just embarrassing, not earth shattering. And while rags like the World Weekly News have always been around, there has definitely been more of it during this last election cycle and it SHOULD be identified for what it is and shamed into oblivion.
