Far better to rely on trusted news sources like uprootedpalstinians.com or some random Twitter feed from a bloke you've never met
That BBC one is hilarious – not just spotting fake news but how to grass it up. It’s not like the Beeb have ever tried to shape our perception through omission and emphasis is it? Still, at least they don't make stuff up.......
I know some are suspicious of Patrick Henningsen, but I think he's the real deal. I particularly like that he is consciously bi-partizan.
Obama and Merkel's recent rhetoric is quite transparent and terrifying, the subtext for which is about policing free speech the internet. Add this possibility to the now in place "Snoopers charter" and we can be conclusive about what the agenda is.
Don't get me started.. again
The old 'threat to democracy' card, Obama “If we are not serious about facts and what’s true and what’s not, if we can’t discriminate between serious arguments and propaganda, then we have problems,”
Weapons of mass destruction spring to mind..
I have never posted a link from that site, this thread is not about main stream news, it's about the epidemic of fake news sites that has flooded facebook and other social media for the last few months, it's a deliberate flood of completely fabricated stories so they can push for more censorship of the internet.
I thought it was a group of kids in Macedonia who discovered a new way to make a few dollars? Was Brexit and Trump also a part of this deliberate attempt? What has materialised is Merkel and Obama have made themselves unelectable, so in hindsight if it was actually them who were behind all the fake news, it wasn't the best of ideas
This is a good read, if only for the comments. It will sum up nicely what is really going on

Yeah it was a group of kids in Macedonia and from the Russians apparently, I'm not saying that it was or it wasn't, I'm just repeating what they are telling people and saying how I see it, they are suggesting that brexit and Trump are the result of all the fake news, I read something earlier about Obama consulting with lawyers, it made me think about what Organ said, can't find where I saw it, will get back to you.

I saw them on TV, all easy smiles and flowing stories. They seemed to have found them pretty easily too. For people making $200k out of writing fake news, I was surprised that some of them can't even speak a word of English, they needed a translator in both directions. More fake news about fake news?

The Summer of the Shill
Campaign 2016 won't just have lasting implications for American politics. It's obliterated what was left of our news media
Years ago, when I was an exchange student in the Soviet Union, a Russian friend explained how he got his news.
"For news about Russia, Radio Liberty," he said. "For news about America, Soviet newspapers." He smiled. "Countries lie about themselves, tell truth about others."

At least The Donald is breaking his own news ..directly , like, threatening to terminate diplomatic relations with Cuba .. via Twitter.
Facking hell ..!
Can 2016 get any better?
If Honey G wins XFactor surely it's all sorted.
