    It's like the Southern Poverty Law Center just declare everything that's not left as a hate group.

    Truth? It is about battling opinions.

    Exactly.

    Over of 99% of BS FAKE News emanates from the RW Fever Swamp.

    Every now and then (less than 1% of the time) it may involve a LW Media Outlet.

    In other words, a LW indiscretion may (every now and then, very rarely) be sprinkled among the Avalanche of FAKE RW BS Spewing from the Bretibart/Fox,/Infowars/Etc. Fever Swamp.

    Also, FAKE BS News is exponentially more likely to be shared (and spread) across social media by RW Trump Voters.

    In 2016, RW BS FAKE NEWS (Completely Fabricated BS that was aimed at low-information RW Tinfoil Hats) was primarily responsible for Trump"s Election.

    The purveyors of the RW BS FAKE News Machine aimed their Fabricated Fever Swamp BS at the Low-Information, Politically-Unsophisticed, Undereducated, Intellectually-Gullible Voters (who, in providing proof of their (expected) Intellectual Gullibility, were far more likely to believe FAKE NEWS--And, thus, be more likely to vote for Trump).

    I wish this new venture well. :salute:

    Don't cheer yet, Lee:

    One of the co-founders is Gordan Crovitz. He's a private market guy who disliked Obama.

    The leftist wingnuttery website Media Matters hates Gordon Crovitz:

    https://www.mediamatters.org/resear...nist-ignores-nature-of-obamas-oppositi/191658

    And he also caught a lot of flack from liberals/progressives/socialists when he contended it was the private sector, not the government, who truly invented the internet:

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10000872396390444464304577539063008406518

    And here's a list of investors:

    https://newsguardtechnologies.com/our-investors/

    This could very well – finally! – be a response from the free market (which leftists detest) to the left wing biased and nonsensical news filtering we've seen from Facebook and Twitter.

    Most on the right already discount the nut job rightwing sites, but the problem is leftists consider websites like National Review "fake news" (which the newsguardtechnologies.com press release referred to as a "legitimate news source.")

    So it looks like the free market might be finally responding to, and correcting, the liberal/progressive/socialist overreach in what they considered 'fake news.'

    How ironic if this turns out to be the medium used by the right to counter the nonsense coming from Media Matters, Slate, Salon, HuffPo and other leftwing sewers posing as news organizations.

    How long before Lee calls the organization he highlighted as a "fake news" site. Leftists are nothing but predictable; 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

    That is absolutely false. Regardless...

    You folks on the right understand that stories like Pizzagate and "ISIS on the border" were fake news correct?

    One would think that you would in the future, not want to be associated with or affected BY such stories...true?

    So if this site monitors and checks not only origin bu veracity...that would be a good thing right?

    I mean...if they show you WHY a story is inaccurate...that would mean something to you...wouldn't it?

    We're not talking about differences of opinion. We're talking about demonstrable facts...

    How about you reserve judgement until the site is actually up and running? It's not that I don't understand why, but you folks are extremely sensitive to the idea of fact checking and examining sites for bias so intense it leads to disinformation.

    So, you started the thread under false pretenses.

    Just so you could slam people for arguing against the false pretense? To set a trap which would enable you to paint other posters in a negative light?

    Since you 3 seem to think you have your finger on the pulse of truth and can weed out what the "MSM" passes as real news and apparently lie all the time why don't you give an example from today's headlines that is (in your mind) clearly "fake news" and how another source has it "right".

    Who is paying for this?

    Your reaction to the news tells me that its probably a liberal set up

    But knowing who funds it would tell us a lot also

    Apparently I am too which is funny because I'm really a Centrist libertarian you know a liberal.

    I simply opposed the authoritarian left. I guess that makes everyone far-right.

    But come on, you could come up with one (1, uno) story to prove a point.
