Nonstop parade of lies.

Yet the media gets 2 or 3 things wrong and you all lose your shit.

Spare us. We don't care. Your side is far more fake than anyone else out there.


"2 or 3 things wrong." You're a laugh riot.

As an Independent, I suspect most non-Dems are truly tired of this bs.


As an independent, I've already seen through the looking glass of right wing propaganda and am completely tired of the fake outrage, victimhood, braying, lack of introspection, and blatant lies emanating from the Republican side of the aisle.


You are not an Independent and you know it, Bernie bro.

Where's your extensive list of thousands of things the media lied about like Trump does?
Oh, that's right, you don't have one. You think that just because the media is telling the truth about something and you don't like hearing it that it's somehow "fake."

Are you joking? Each of these FAKE stories was reported with rabid enthusiasm by CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, etc. etc. There was no attempt to investigate thoroughly before reporting what turned out to be incredibly biased OPINION pieces. Yes, the truth eventually emerged - but that's *in spite of* and not because of "real journalism." It seems that in every one of these stories, citizens actually had to do the reporting themselves, sometimes by supplying video (Covington), and other times by insisting the media get it right factually.

It's a sad state of affairs when three major news stories are falsely reported from the get-go - due entirely to the bias of the "news" sources.

I think the 2nd worst is the Covington kids reporting. Once again, because it caused division.
Lastly is the Smollett attack. While it was certainly bad, all reasonable people I know agree that reporting on it was horrible at first, but corrected later. And the media didn't try to sugar coat the truth.
The local media in Chicago did a fabulous job of reporting on the Smollett hoax.


Eddie Johnson, the Chicago Police Superintendent, deserves kudos for his work and the way he shared the truth, which I'm sure was painful to him on many levels. I admire him greatly.

Actually, yes, yes it does. What part of this do you not understand: "NO COLLUSION."

My take:

Sure the Covington thing wasn't covered appropriately but IMHO the Covington kid is still a douchebag. And so is Jussie Smollett. The Russia thing hasn't connected to Trump but the right wing is treasonously idiotic for wanting to sweep Russian meddling in American democracy under the carpet and pretending it didn't happen just because it didn't connect to Trump.

This is what you need to understand: Nobody believes or trusts this administration. Barr will have to produce the report. And if he doesn't, there will likely be a whole series of subpoenas and hearings around why the report is being covered up.

Please get a life and read/watch something other than Breitbart and Fox.

Y'all should not be popping the champagne yet based on BARR's Report! Should not be confused with MUELLER's report!



Oh, goody - you've got a new obsession to occupy your thoughts for the next two years! I'm happy for you.

Jury is still out on the third...

...and that's what makes fake news fake.

1. Collusion and piss dossier - both started and fueled by Hilly.
2. Covington boys - fake news media worst attack (as of today) and worst ''Vietnam vet'' ever.
2. Also 2 that wasn't mentioned here - a guy burned alive his five pets (two German Sheppards and three cats, all rescues) along with his own house, because he wasn't happy that parade didn't get enough attention. FIVE animals died a horrible death.
3. Stupid Jessie - even with Michele Obama rushing to save him, the truth came out very quickly - kudos to Chicago police standing it's ground.

Far more sick of the constant stream of proven lies coming out of the White House each and every day. Again, when is Mexico going to pay for the wall? What about all the rest? When you wave off Trump's constant lying you lose all credibility when it comes to whining about "fake news."

Your side's lies are far worse than even shitty MSM media. Own it.

One was completely fake, one was orchestrated by adult activists and misrepresented by the media, and the third appears to be, at best, partisan denial + wishful thinking, at worst, a fevered effort to overturn an "unthinkable" election result.


Well said.
