    They probably will, lots of pro Trump stuff is being flagged as fake news on facebook, you can even get yourself a Trump filter if you are that pathetic and you can't handle seeing stories about him. (not you, anyone)

    Shouldn't we wait until they actually do before concluding that the Mail is banned for having an opposing view (whatever that is).

    Not sure what facebook is to do with wikipedia, mind.

    If you hadn't noticed most of the MSM are on the same team, just follow the fake news allegations It seems that the DM sufficiently annoyed a group of people with that climate change article that they decided to make an example of them.

    Liberals, Soros, EU, Facebook, Twitter, Google, MSM, Blairites, Wikipedia, multinationals, socialists, communists, and a multitude of other secret groups are all on the same side, as are you

    Just think Brexit (anti-globalist, Trump) and Remain (globalist, Soros), those are the dividing lines.

    And please stop playing dumb, it's starting to get a bit tedious

    Politics or geopolitics is about overlapping factions, each with their own ideologies and interests, all of which are continually shifting and changing, and all of which are constituted of individual people with their own needs, desires, perversions, secrets and personal relationships.

    I'm lucky enough to have worked in Plaid Cymru HQ -Ty Gwynfor - for the final year of Plaid's coalition government with Labour so I've seen first hand how quickly factions can form and dissolve.

    The owners (and editor) of the Daily Mail have overlapping interests with members of various factions - for example certain wealthy UK people, prominent members of the Conservatives and UKIP, media like Breitbart.

    Wikipedia, on the other hand, has overlapping interests with people like the Clintons and organisations like Facebook.

    Understanding this is not very complicated but the relationships are infinitely complex.

    I agree that the relationships are very complex. This is why 'so-and-so and some others are all together on one side' is too simplistic and not accurate. Just to pick newspapers as an example, we've seen some suddenly jump ship many times.

    Most groups and indiduals have now stepped out from the shadows, so it's fairly trivial to see who is who. A few double agents are still in place acting as agent provocateurs, but what we are now witnessing is a full-on information war, and the stakes are very high indeed. I also think it's fair to say that so far we have only witnessed the opening skirmishes, with both sides keeping their heavy artillery in reserve.

    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 .

    Yeah, just a bit of fun, I liked the police tape and the live satellite link. These guys are very creative
