The White House and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.


CNN what colossal hacks... You contacted the Dept of Transportation hoping to employ someone else in your smear campaign?

CNN is a daily gold mine for what fake news looks like.

Fake news is at it again. Today Kellyanne has been attacked by the media for stating that microwaves can be used to spy.

She's right.

It's certainly possible to use microwaves (high freq radar) to see through walls and spy. Not microwave ovens unless it's an iHome microwave or something (which would be a problem for all "internet of things" devices). She doesn't say microwave ovens in her quote. Perhaps she is referring to the Range R device used by law enforcement, or perhaps she was told about it and misunderstood what was meant by "microwaves" (radiation, not home cooking devices). http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/01/19/police-radar-see-through-walls/22007615/

Regardless of whether she meant microwaves or an IoT microwave oven, both can be used to spy. So she said nothing inaccurate.

The right is just as guilty.


So far from true, people are truly brainwashed...

I didn't say it was. I said it was an example of the childish 'i know you are but what am I ' tactic the right, and especially Trump, is currently employing. A childish tactic that a huge amount of Americans fell for too. I don't know how many times and from how many different sources I heard 'They're as bad as eachother' during the campaign.

It basically serves as a divider. Left becomes more left. Right becomes more right. Both sides just hate the other side more and more.

If you consider not reporting the whole truth to be "fake news" then almost every news outlet that exists is fake news.
Especially when they give personal opinions on the matter and don't represent both sides.

Government regulation of news outlets is bad but letting news outlets skew their reports for their own agenda is also bad.
It's just a shitty industry.
