'Fake news' inquiry launched

[lardy]

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.

POTUS statements, etc could always be easily found. How many cameras are there at a press conference?

Thing is nobody looks into the stuff that they hear on the news!

Doesn't this contradict what you said in the Daily Mail/Wikipedia discussion - that people should decide for themselves?

Not at all. In an ideal world, people would get there information from a variety of sources, and then come to their own conclusions. However the fact is most people get their information from a single source, usually the TV or MSM. And it is obvious what the Daily Mail/Wikipedia thing is all about - the suppression of opposing views.

If it is about the suppression of opposing views, why don't they ban more 'news' outlets with the same view as the Mail?

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.

Help me out. Which team are most of the MSM on? Is the Mail on this team or opposite?
