    'Fake news' inquiry launched

    We knew it was coming..
    https://www.parliament.uk/business/c...-launch-16-17/

    "The Culture, Media and Sport Committee launches an inquiry into 'fake news': the growing phenomenon of widespread dissemination, through social media and the internet, and acceptance as fact of stories of uncertain provenance or accuracy."

    You can submit your views through the Fake news inquiry page, it will be interesting to read some of those.

    They are too late, Trump has already had an inquiry, and they quickly identified the perveyors of fake news ... the MSM!

    City's attendance figures would be somewhere to start.

    Back in the 60's the gates figures were lowered as you probably know

    "Truth decay" maybe they should brush more? it's obvious they are going somewhere with the "threat to democracy" thing, they will end up blocking them all and we will just be left with the Big Bullshitting Corporation.

    So we are going to end up with 'Trump news' only?

    Actually it's the truth according to Donald Trump. He worked out a long time ago that the MSM like to twist everything, push vague truths, and regularly omit things. That's why he uses Twitter and Facebook to communicate directly with the electorate.

    You can actually trace the origins of this fake news story back to a tweet that was made in early November, after people had started to notice strange things being mentioned in the leaked Podesta emails https://mobile.twitter.com/jmpalmier...64366547533824 In order to suppress discussion surrounding these leaked emails, we had the Russian hacking story, and the attack on the alternative media.

    The tables have now been turned with Trump's unexpected election victory, so we will have to wait and see what happens next, but I don't think we have heard the last of this.

    How do you determine that 'trump's tweets are any more or less distorted than MSM news?
    " Alternative facts" from both sides seems more likely.

    If I want to tell you something important, it will be more accurate if I tell you directly rather than going through a 3rd party, especially one who is opposed to me. Then you can judge my words knowing that they came directly from me, and they haven't been altered in any way.

    This discussion is not about Trump, it is about the media. Trump is merely a player, albeit a central character, so I have no choice other than to include him in the narrative. You seem to be a man of many diversions

    You could substitute any number of people or organisations into this equation, but one fact remains - the media are colluding with the globalists, as they attempt to disrupt and destroy anything that gets in their path.

    The myriad 'rolling news' channels are broadcast 'live' but not all of the content is 'live' - as in ..live. Clearly ;)
    Yes it's bullsh1t but surely it is not sinister - its a show - like everything else on TV ;) I would be sure that they all do it. All of them.

    I know you have some interesting stuff in your locker - not this kind of stuff!
    Good job you put a laughing smiley in your post .
