Today I had endure yet another sickening "news" cycle.

Kellyanne disrespectfully kneeling on the couch.

Trump "suggesting" Jews are responsible for anti-semitic attacks.


These didn't happen. Editorialized news headlines and articles make people believe that both of these things happened, but neither of these things happened.

I'm getting really fucking pissed off at "the left" (who aren't really the left) trying to shove these false narratives down my fucking throat.

Yes it's fake news, yes it empowers Trump supporters because they know it's fake news, no it doesn't magically change reality and somehow make the Trump administration less powerful, It makes him and his supporters more fucking powerful because it's blatantly obvious that the news is, indeed, fucking fake.

I wish they would stop.

What other examples do you folks have from this week?

Well exactly.

Honestly the whole fake news thing is just another example of the right's favourite argument 'I know you are but what am I?'. The left started the fake news conversation and now it's the right's main criticism of the left.
Trump won a campaign on it. Trump's a liar and a fraud? Crooked Hillary.

There was another example the other day as well but I forget what it was...

Honestly... when this is the state of political discourse there's not much I can think of that will change things short of something cataclysmic... or just time. When the democrats regain power we may be able to have a proper discussion again.

The right doesn't have the MSM as it's mouth piece.

My personal favorites are the Russia & Trump collusion. Time after time I read these articles hoping to see actual names of sources instead of "anonymous intelligence officials"

The one guy Steel, the ex MI-6 guy that spawned alot of these allegiations is suddenly no where to be found to be cross examined.
