    Hitler's military machine and government was financed by your fellow Republicans from Wall Street.
    FACT, whether you want to admit it or not.

    But it is right wingers who are the ones who cry about FAKE NEWS.

    Did you ever see right wingers complain about FAKE NEWS when their hero Bush made up lies about imaginary WMD in Iraq?

    Or how about righties complaining about FAKE NEWS reports about Assad gassing his own people when actors were employed to portray victims and after their hero Trump dropped a bomb on that country for no reason at all?



    Consider this: when Lyndon Johnson made up his FAKE NEWS story about the Gulf of Tonkin it was the left that condemned him. But it was the righties who defended him and still do to this day. On top of all that they defend Nixon who made things worse.

    Did the right condemn traitor Bush? Of course not.

    At least the left is and was always willing to condemn a wrong made by their side. The right does not.

    And Democrats ran the KKK. What's your point.

    Funny how Democrat's policies fail. Their only real argument for everything is that Republicans are NAZIs.

    LOL.

    In case you didn't know it, it was liberals and Democrats who were the first ones to condemn Hugo Black and Robert Byrd as former KKK members. Both changed just like Saul of Tarsus did on the road to Damascus.

    By contrast, Republicans turned Judas Iscariot and sold their souls to the wealthy elitist devils for gold a la Matthew 26:15.

    For decades and even to this day, right wingers in their deluded hatred continue to call anyone who disagrees with them communist and/or Nazi just like this:

    I've thrown out this bet before and so far none of the people who flap their lips about MSM being fake news have taken me up on it so I'll try again. You spend one day watching MSNBC and if they tell one lie I'll give you the price of a good steak dinner ($50.00). If you don't hear any lies you will send me $50.00. One thing has to be agreed to and that is any guest being interviewed telling a lie is not MSNBC telling a lie. After all, if they happened to be interviewing trump I would immediately lose the bet. I'm talking about one of the reporters telling what would prove to be a lie. It's sorta a put up or shut up deal.

    You got your stories and they have theirs. Its all about faith and being intolerant for the other team.

    Seems to be the case anything anybody disagrees with is fake news to them.

    Agree 100%. Fake news is the art of deception using only verifiable fact.

    Does that include lies by omission?

    Read near the bottom: "telling what would prove to be a lie". I have a hard time accepting any type of omission as being fake where an out and out lie would be easier to label as fake.

    An airline pilot makes a mistake and the plane crashes. But in attempting to recover from the mistakes the pilot does some heroic feats with the plane then saves lives after the crash.
    If the news story says pilot error cause 50 deaths. Yet the pilots actions after the mistake saves 200 but that isn't in the story . Yes the story is a lie and is fake news.

    If you don't think you can lie by omission then you're not willing to take that bet on.

    Ringing endorsement for the mainstream media by the way.

    Darn

    Doesn’t list ABC Aus which is our BBC. Guess it would sit alongside the BEEB as “centrist” since it has a similar mandate

    We Americans can be very parochial, unfortunately.

    Given that the odious Rupert Murdoch was spawned "dununder" I am sure you must also have your own share of disreputable tabloids that even the cat is dubious about having it as the liner for it's litter box.

    Tell me if I have this right or not. In a roundabout way are you saying the reporters on MSM don't outright tell lies but they will occasionally omit something? What's the last thing you remember them omitting? If you don't remember, why do you call MSM fake news?

    No they constantly admit things. Just off the top of my head the whole story regarding any police shooting.
