    For all the right wing nut conspiracy theory sites, and those that pretend not to be, there's a new way to expose your deceit.

    https://newsguardtechnologies.com/

    An informed, engaged public is democracy's strongest defense, and the Liar-in-Chief's worst nightmare.

    If we are to thrive as a country we must come to an agreement on what is the truth and what is not. I think this new site will help in that endeavor. At least to the extent the minions are willing to accept the truth. I have to admit, for that segment of the population, based on what I've seen on this board, I'm not optimistic. The best that can likely be hoped for is the persuadable middle will enlighten themselves with the facts and in so doing realize these right wing charlatan's goal is to obfuscate the truth, not reveal it.

    Sometimes folks just get lazy. Like the OP. In their rush to tout their new fabulous analyzer, they expose the very tyranny this nation was designed to fight. When the righteous start yammering about their "truth", though, you know the wheels are truly close to falling off....

    Hmmmm, so now it's tyranny to expose the lies of right wing media? Is pointing out the lies of the prez treason?

    By your support of Don you endorse the very things you accuse others of. You're one frightening dude, dude.

    Well, that seems to have hit a nerve. Your slavish devotion to the dogma may get you extra cookies at your meetings, but this seems to be well beyond norm. Actively attacking the world you suggest lies when it doesn't conform to your brand of koolaid seems, well, a teensy bit dangerous. Of course you agree, you wrote it above. If only you had a mirror....

    Only because those are the sites, based on their track record, most likely to be factually shown to be deceiving the public.

    Liberal truth as decided by the democrat industrial media complex. The left sure hates free speech and competing ideas.

    I highly doubt that it is only right-leaning websites that are guilty of this. This is the kind of thing that fuels the kneejerk reactionism to liberals that we see daily on this board. If liberals cannot be honest about slant and bias on their side, how do you expect right-leaning folks to ever question it on theirs?

    I don't blame you for being a bit nervous that the sites you rely on will be exposed as being reliably unreliable in the accuracy of what they report. I suppose part of your defensiveness is due to the disadvantage you immediately find yourself in by choosing to ignore Don's habit of lying and the copious amount of Kool-Aid you have had to swill to avoid acknowledging it.

    I didn't say they were. I'm sure liberal leaning sites will be called out for inaccuracy as well. But not in the purposeful, serial manner of the sites I listed.

    So, your response is, caught in the logic trap of your own making, your only defense now is, flinging of the poo? Laughable. I suppose that is one of the drawbacks of being slavish though. Your inability to understand when to stop before it becomes obvious, even to you.....

    As I said, that's because the sites I did list are most vulnerable to being exposed for the serial use of inaccurate reporting.

    At no point did it say it would be only monitoring right wing fake news, but you just automatically assumed it would be. Kind of a freudian slip there eh? An organization whose stated goal is to eliminate fake news automatically enters the bad category in your mind.

    Must be because you know your right wing news sources post the largest volume of pure undiluted BULLSHIT and you dont want that thin veneer of illusion stripped away from you.

    You're the one who called exposing right wing lies tyranny. Sounds like something Don would say.
