    I'm beating my head trying to get you guys to explain this AGENDA that was claimed. Obviously you can't, we can't discuss beyond anything until YOU explain what it is you are discussing and obviously you can't. It was just more sloganeering. Until you can I can't help you.

    A tweet? :roflol:When was a tweet considered headline news? A tweet is an opinion by any Joe Blow. This is your "fake news"? This is your Sinclair proof? No, this is ultimate fail.

    Try not "pulling up" any more. You are proving "my point", not yours.

    Did you just admit that the Right is spreading fake news? Answer, yes!

    Oh bovine piles !! The Grey vs Blue started with Barry Goldwater in 1964 when even though Barry lost overall he schooled the future POTUS Reagan how to win the South. Barry took the most rebel of the rebel states of the deepest South. Reagan kicked off his run for POTUS in Philadelphia Mississippi the scene of the murder of civil rights workers.

    Just to teach you some history the War of Northern Aggression started in June 25, 1950 when North Korea committed aggression against The South, Korea that is.

    Okay, let's try you. Your buddies pulled the ultimate fail when asked for documentation of fake news by CNN, MSNBC, and others. They pushed a few tweets around as evidence. Tweets aren't news. They failed miserably. You seem to be pedaling the same lies. Can you prove with documentation that these networks are spreading fake news as Sinclair suggests?

    I've got nothing. A tweet is not headline news. If you think it is, that's your bubble, not mine. Rightie's pulling up more lies is all I'm seeing.

    The CNN story is not fake news, because it was retracted and the employees resigned. They did not stand behind the story, so there was nothing fake about it. The story doesn't exist.

    You aren't saying anything. Produce the documented proof of fake news that Sinclair is talking about coming from CNN and MSNBC, or your claims are just lies. Your buddies have already been caught spewing them. Let's see how you fair. And don't push tweets. Tweets are opinions, not news.

    Boss, you don't talk out of both sides of your mouth do you? This is your exact quote; "So what's the problem? Are you afraid of articles that aren't anti-Trump and actually tell people the truth? Maybe the days of left wing news manipulating dumbed down, ill informed Americans is over, I can only hope. I miss the days where the news reported the news and left their biased opinion out of it."

    It was when they reported it and they got caught. You asked and you were given.

    I read it. It was pretty good for the most part.

    It ia noteworty that it made no mention whatsoever of the flood of fake news websites that appeared and disappeared during the election, much of whose content was picked up and parroted by various right wing blogs.
    We now know that much of this was done by the Russians. This garbage was widely repeated on this forum by various right wingers and shared on social media (which is why 130 million people eventually saw this stuff).

    Nor, of course, does it mention the candidate's serial lying or his attempts to delegitimize any voiced critical of him, although sowing mistrust in news is exactly what the Federalist porported to be alarmed about.

    It seems that their concern was highly selective and very narrowly focused.

    Boss, you are throwing spaghetti up against the wall. You aren't making any sense. And that's what you got caught doing.

    If CNN retracts a story that wasn't accurate, it was from human error, not fake news that they stand by. There is a big difference. Too bad you conveniently believe otherwise on purpose. Which sets up the Right for these convenient lies about fake news. Which is exactly what Sinclair has been doing. You folks aren't fooling anyone. The Fake news industrial complex was invented to skirt the truth for your Fuhrer.

    That happens on Fox News virtually every day. No one resigns, and nothing is ever retracted. In fact, if the story trends well enough (like the Seth Richard conspiracy theory, Planet Ping Pong, or the new favorite hoarde of Mexicand in a caravan), then they repeat and recycle the lie!

    You clearly have a reading comprehension problem.

    Just to be sure....it is ok if the left use the same narrative over and over on many stations but NOT ok if the right does it. Is that what you are saying?

    Nor do you have any reason to. What you posted, in and of itself was fake news, because the story does not exist.

    Your entire system of "information" got bought up by half a dozen multinational corporations once Clinton deregulated the FCC, journalism is not to be found in any of these outlets now, it's all nothing but corporate state propaganda, distraction and obfuscation.

    Provide evidence of any liberally aligned network forcing local tv personalities to read propoganda from a corporate script.

    Since you are making that assertion, you are expected to substantiate your claim.

    A multi billion dollar merger between 2 giant media outlets that reach more than 2/3rds of American homes violating anti trust laws because Trump is in bed with conservative media and routinely parrots their exact narrative in his tweets. A dangerous narrowing of perspective by a few top media outlets pushing a specific narrative, liberal talk radio and news is surpressed big time. News anchors reading a carefully written script agains their will (it's in their contracts unless they quit) demonizing liberal media while trying to brainwash their viewers into assuming anything not from their specific outlet is trustworthy or even newsworthy at all.


    None of this occurred to you when hearing about this story??? I see why Sinclair has succeeded with you.
