Here are the most egregious fake news stories of 2018

You're getting lazy in your old age.
 
Here's another link covering a lot of the fake news dumb-ass people have been passing around.

Glad to see a thread exposing all the B.S. that gullible assholes gobble up, day after day.

But, I suspect, people will STILL go on believing what they want to believe. Truth be damned.

When the POTUS, the highest office in the land, lies on the average of 10 times a day, the grand permission has been given from the top to lie, steal, cheat and do whatever you have to do to WIN, WIN, WIN!

Now might be a good time to re-post that news media credibility chart so members can better understand why they are as stupid as they are. (See if there is any co-relation to their asshattery and the media outlets they prefer.)

Oh look! I just noticed!

The link in the OP is from the Daily Caller. LOL!

Notice where that media outlet sits in the credibility chart. Way down in the "red" danger box. Meaning, "Nonsense damaging to public discourse."

How fitting and predictable. Way to go Zimmer. LOL!
 
Not sure, Jack, are you condoning the execution of a US resident?
The Federalist also seems to have defended Judge Roy Moore’s dating habits when he was in his thirties.


A few other questionable stances they seem to have taken.....

So Khashoggi’s murder is OK?

I do not believe the whole truth about Roy Moore is yet known.

Disinformation targeting Roy Moore’s Senate bid may have broken the law, Alabama attorney general says
The attorney general said his office is exploring the disinformation campaign deployed against Moore, a Republican, and said he was worried that the operation could have affected the closely fought race.

 
It's interesting to see just how bad journalistic integrity has gotten in the last few years.

Yes it is an abomination that the Daily Caller is even cited as a news organization. That is how far we have fallen.

You have posted the same link on at least two threads; what is your answer to my question re. Khashoggi’s murder? You OK, with it. Does Saudi money trump what used to be expected behavior among nations?

Yes I agree the truth is far more sordid than we can imagine. It's a takes one to know one kind of deal.

If K was really a foreign agent then my sympathy falls to zero. We shall see.
Beyond that I'd say I've known of countless times when individuals with US residency got in deep against rough regimes and paid with their lives. The only differences in this case are the Trump link to MBS and the Washington Post link to K.

The "expected behavior among nations" is what happened to K.

Considering your affection for the DC NFL franchise, your views on international politics shouldn’t surprise anyone. Happy New Year!

Wouldn't at all be a stretch that the whole 'Russian Collusion' and the initiation of the Mueller investigation

Mueller’s key role is to have nearly absolute control over what information is released to investigators or the public. Mueller determines what Horowitz and Huber can see. Mueller can hide anythinghe wants by claiming that release of the information would hinder his ‘investigation’. He has given Rod Rosenstein a list of lines of inquiry that will not be allowed. Rosenstein, who volunteered to be part of the soft coup, is happy to comply. We have witnessed Rosenstein repeatedly refuse to turn over documents to Congress, flagrantly obstructing its oversight role.

What is the most effective way to hide the truth and protect the deep-state criminals? It’s the never-ending Mueller investigation. Sure, Mueller’s team is still in the business of promoting the Trump-Russia fiction, but the most important role of this ‘investigation’ may be to obstruct any real investigation.

were of similar tactics from the same party.
 
Yeah. For example, The Daily Caller.

Even though they are telling more than enough truth through this article?

Though I suspect you're only okay with lies, when it's your side that spouting them?
 
Yes it is an abomination that the Daily Caller is even cited as a news organization. That is how far we have fallen.
Seeing as they are one, It's pretty sad that you have to stick to that kind of response. Or are you upset that your team has gotten caught, yet again?

Except they're not telling the truth.

The left wing does lie, yes. The right wing lies exponentially more, on a level never before seen.

Conservative media and the president lie more than anyone else in recorded history.

EDIT: #10 on the DC's list just got corroborated. Might want to pull that one back.

Anyone who cites or praises the Daily Caller is an idiot. Period, full stop.

Not half as sad as you citing them in a link.. You should know they are strictly for gullible sycophants who want to read trash novels instead of the truth.

Yes. The Daily Caller was founded by Tucker Carlson - bastion of journalistic integrity.
