    Far better to rely on trusted news sources like uprootedpalstinians.com or some random Twitter feed from a bloke you've never met

    This is a very profound statement, but it is also a logical fallacy. With a view like this you will open yourself up to even more fake news and propaganda. No one side is better than the other, but taken as a whole you will find the truth somewhere in between.

    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.

    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.

    Read the comments in the Guardian article above to get an idea about what people are really thinking. This fake news stuff is just more propaganda from the same people who have just been anhialated. This kind of response is all that they know.

    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."

    Some of the biggest peddlers of ‘fake news’ and ‘post-truth politics’ out there are saying the same things, here are just a few..

    Don't be fooled by this sudden concern for truth, this is a fake epidemic of fake news, this is an attack on alternative media, google and facebook are already banning 'fake news' web sites from their advertising networks and there are calls for more to be done, you don't have to be a Philadelphia lawyer to work out where this is going..
    The current attack on alternative news is probably the last throw of the dice to suppress pizzagate
