Perhaps all these fake news sites that are butthurt...along with fanboi's of them...are really pissed because this guy says what he wants without having a "conference"...a massive waste of time staged by people that are only looking for "GOTCHA!" comments and have been left by the wayside with no audience.

which, incidentally, is not the equivelant of a major news organization obtaining private information about a private citizen and then threatening to dox that private citizen because he made a joke at their expense... one is ridiculously stupid, the other is horrifically dangerous...

And on that aspect... who cares about audience?

Anyone that cries fake news and then tries to use audience size as an insult does not understand what news is supposed to be.

And it's accurate. They are not saying (actually they dropped this tag line) their news is fair and balanced. They are saying they are skewed right to balance out the other outlets. In that regard they are correct.

Not quite. If you combine ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC... heck just 3 of those 5... they dwarf FOX in terms of viewers. Fox is #1 only because the rest have to share viewers. Conservatives have one channel - FOX.

1 - the dudes a middle aged man. The 15 year old crap is "fake news" from Donald Trump Jr.

2 - news should not require skewing right or left. There is information. If one needs to present "the other side" then they are not providing information they are providing an opinion. If a channel is providing too much opinion (and all of them have been providing a bit much recently) the solution is NOT to provide an opposite opinion. The solution is to provide information.

fake news... gonna start calling you vnn...


totally agree on point #2 though... the problem is that "information" doesn't pay the bills... idiots who will sit through mindless attempts at selling them products so that they can be rewarded by getting to listen to someone they politically agree with talk for 6 minutes with more people that they all agree with before 3 more minutes of product-selling attempts getcrammed down their pie chute - that's what pays the bills... f*ck tv...

If someone thinks there is a difference between "information" and "factual information" then they don't understand what being informed is.

If someone who frequently posts incorrect information thinks they need to try to insert "factual" unnecessarily unto one of my posts ... then they don't understand what irony is.

Like "alternative facts" better opel? I thought I'd start using the presidents vernacular so the rabble can understand my sentences...

I meant "The 15 year old crap is "fake news" from Donald Trump Jr." is fake news... that absolutely did not originate from him so to say it's "from him" when he was just sharing "information" (although not factual information) that others had shared with him is dishonest information...

Fair point. He is disseminating this information however. .. unless he deleted that tweet...

I doubt he did... I watched the story evolve this morning on 8chan... it was silly... everyone knew he was a 30-something year old (he posted something about being a teenager back in the 90's I think) but one guy mentions it's a 15 year old, everyone else starts rolling with it, then someone started saying he was gay and cnn had threatened to out him, and that didn't stick at all because of how outlandish it was, but the 15 year old thing stuck... weird... in 2 weeks if you ask 10 random people about this, at least 3 will still think he was 15...

Nope... still up. So he is disseminating "fake news" knowingly.

well, no, I don't think he's smart enough to know it's not a 15 year old... lots of fake news out there... hard to know what you can believe...

That's a bs excuse man... if the person who stupidly tthreatened to doxx them says they are middle aged then they must be. Otherwise the threat of doxxing loses all power. They have to be accurate or it creates a question as to whether they are doxxing the right person. You can't say you have the person's info and they're a middle aged guy one day then a week later release info on a 15 year old. Your credibility on any of the info is lost completely (unless your audience is Trump voters...)
