Isn’t it ironic how the mainstream media has the nerve to lecture everyone else about “fake news” when they are the primary source of fake news on a consistent basis stretching back years? Fake news stories and fake narratives put out by the mainstream media have resulted in deaths, destruction and people’s lives being ruined. RELATED: PETITION: DEFEND INDEPENDENT MEDIA FROM ‘FAKE NEWS’ ATTACKS The most harmful fake news is routinely published by the mainstream media. They are the main progenitors of fake news. – The fake news that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and that Iraq was involved in 9/11, dutifully regurgitated without question by the mainstream media, resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, thousands of dead and injured U.S. troops, and the destabilization of an entire continent. – The fake news that the rebels in Syria were “moderates” who did not have jihadist sympathies and should be supported led to the destruction of Syria, Libya and the rise of ISIS. – The fake news narrative that the media was balanced in its coverage of the presidential election was completely obliterated when Wikileaks emails revealed that countless mainstream media reporters were in bed with the Clinton campaign, feeding them debate questions beforehand and conspiring with Hillary’s staff to portray her in a positive light. – The fake news that George Zimmerman was obsessed with Trayvon Martin’s race before the altercation that led to Martin’s death was accomplished by means of NBC deceptively editing an audio tape. This incident stoked racial tensions across the country and laid the groundwork for the violent ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement that was to follow. – The fake news that produced the “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative, which was proven to be completely fraudulent, led to riots, violent attacks and looting in Ferguson, Missouri, as well as numerous other U.S. cities. Even after the rioting began, the mainstream media continued to legitimize the unrest. Fake news outlets continued to parrot the “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative even after it was proven false. – The fake news that saw innumerable people accused of rape at college campuses across America, claims that were proven wrong, ruined people’s lives and perpetuated the myth (fake news) that one in five women are raped on college campuses. – The fake news that George W. Bush served dishonorably during his time in the Air National Guard was broadcast by CBS News with the aid of fake documents. In circulating this fake news, CBS tried to influence the 2004 presidential election but only ended up crucifying their own credibility, leading to Dan Rather’s resignation six months later. – The fake news that NBC anchor Brian Williams faced enemy fire while helicoptering into Iraq in 2003 was exposed when soldiers who were aboard the helicopter blew the whistle on his lies. Despite admittedly putting out fake news, Williams still has a career in broadcast journalism. – The fake news narrative that Donald Trump somehow represents the next coming of Hitler has provoked a hysterical anti-Trump hate crime wave across America, with people and property being attacked on a routine basis. The same hysterical fake news narrative was also responsible for violence and riots at Trump events throughout the campaign cycle, as well as assassination attempts on Trump’s life. – The fake news that Donald Trump had no chance whatsoever of winning the presidential election was proudly pushed by countless mainstream media outlets, with the Huffington Post even predicting that Hillary Clinton had a 98% chance of winning the presidency. When this fake news narrative was completely demolished on November 8, it swept away trust in political polling and the mainstream media to an even greater degree, prompting the backlash that you now see with the corporate press calling everyone else “fake news” when they are the real fake news. FULL LIST OF FAKE NEWS OUTLETS – The New York Times Below is a list of fake news reporters who colluded with the Clinton campaign to promote fake news. This list is by no means exhaustive, and there are many reporters within these organizations who do not peddle fake news and have spoken out against the mainstream media’s effort to brand dissenting opinion as “fake news”. For example, Matt Taibbi (no fan of Infowars), has called the Washington Post’s fake news blacklist “disgusting” and “shameful”. Glenn Greenwald, who has worked with several of the organizations on this list in the past, also completely eviscerated the credibility of the “fake news list” being used by the Washington Post. The entire “fake news” narrative being pushed by the mainstream media has nothing whatsoever to do with concerns over people being misled. If that were the case, the mainstream media itself would stop habitually lying to the American people and its trustworthiness wouldn’t be in the toilet. The whole “fake news” narrative is clearly part of a dirty tricks campaign to pressure governments, Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other tech giants to censor information that is inconvenient to the establishment, for which the mainstream media serves as a mouthpiece. We are competing with the mainstream media and they’re not happy about dissident voices challenging their monopoly on reality. That’s why they’re forced to resort to underhanded and deceptive means through which to silence their ideological opposition. By circulating this article and this fake news list, we are not calling for these outlets to be censored, we are simply drawing attention to the fact that the very same entities who cry “fake news” are the primary sources for the most damaging, harmful and woefully inaccurate fake news stories in the history of modern journalism.The mainstream media is the primary source of the most harmful, most inaccurate news ever

Isn’t it ironic how the mainstream media has the nerve to lecture everyone else about “fake news” when they are the primary source of fake news ... OMG ...
The people who are complaining about fake news in the MSM are themselves posting fake news. The MSM is reporting biased news. There are two sides to every story. The MSM reports the on the side they want. The event isn't "fake". The news isn't "fake". But the coverage is biased. And when pressed, the MSM will fall back on, "Well, that's what was told to us".
Of course. Two wrongs do not make a right. Fake news from any and all sources must be condemned.
The MSM is reporting that unemployment is at 4.6%. Fake news? Are they lying? Should we condemn it?
Fake news from any and all sources must be condemned.
It's true. The U-3 unemployment rate is 4.6%. From that, we can assume that Obama is a great President for reducing it so far.
There are a number of ways “we” can be used. I assume in this case you're using the patronizing “we” in place of “you” to address me, thereby hinting at a facetious assurance that as the one asked, "I am with you, we are in this together." If that is the case, let me point out that “WE" are NOT together in that “assumption”….you stand alone. Furthermore, if I were to look at any Department of Labor statistic to judge Obama’s performance, I would look at the Real Unemployment Rate (U-6) which shows a decrease from 16.7% on 1/1/3010 to 9.3% on 11/1/2016. If I were asked to judge Obama only from that, then I feel Obama is a bad President for still having a high real unemployment rate of 9.3%. Of course, there are many OTHER reasons I consider Obama to be a bad President.
Hmmmm. Aren't YOU the one posting fake news? The official unemployment rate is U-3 and here you are posting U-6 data and using that to call Obama a bad President.
Is the U-6 data not correct....is the number 9.3% a "fake" number? What am I wrong to judge on the Real Unemployment rate?
You fake news is getting more fake. The official unemployment rate that has been used for decades is U-3. But you're using U-6. And worse, you're claiming that's the "Real Unemployment" rate. Oh, my. That said, I will admit that in my opinion U-6 is more accurate. Especially when many get discouraged and stop looking or take part-time jobs because that's all they can get.
That said, why WERE we having this converstation ...

Because I used U-3 (the official standard) to make a point and you used U-6 (an unofficial stadard) as your rebuttal. I didn't think that was fair.

If it is not true, then it is fake news and they are lying...we should condemn it?
