herp came here just to post that link and you posted it 11 hours ago, I'm getting slow
I like that right-wing media will assemble lists of things I'm too lazy to compile myself. Breitbart has a running list of ten gorillion incidents of left-wing violence with detailed sourcing
Misquoting Trump Jr to accuse him of perjury was what, 4 weeks ago? I've already forgotten about it. But its shit like that, that should be put in a list for posterity
And just look at all the fake news surrounding Kavanaugh. That was a real shitshow. Its clear that much of the fake news is a product of the competitive media's rush to publish before anyone else can scoop their story, where fact checking it would both take time and potentially clue in others to scoop them- all that coupled with bias and a desire to believe falsehoods that support their worldview. But when the Kavanaugh timetables were so short and on a deadline with little wiggle room, the media's fact checking was just thrown completely out the window and they would publish 4chan fanfics they got emailed.
