FAKE NEWS EXPOSED: A Service of PoliticalChat.com

For all of you concerned about the proliferation of so-called "fake news" sites, I'm here to help. I know you're all so very concerned that "gullible people" might not be able to discern between internet news stories that are parodies versus those that are "real" and put out by "reputable" journalists. As patriotic Americans, we just can't let such misinformation go unchallenged.

Parody is apparently lost on you.

WaPo and the NYTimes have done nothing similar.

You don't know that Lou Dobbs was terminated due to his on-air comments. Please stop trying to pitch your speculative comments as fact.

And you probably believe that Chris Stirewalt wasn't fired for correctly calling the election in Arizona.

You flatter yourself. Conservatives don't do parody. Greg Gutfeld proves it every night.

Pro tip: Humor isn't funny if you have to explain it.

Meanwhile, you used the "fake news" thread you created to frequently bash the WashPost, NYTimes and CNN for much lesser transgressions (to the extent they were even transgressions at all). Meanwhile, the exposure of the greatest instance of journalistic malpractice/malfeasance in a generation doesn't even solicit a mild rebuke from you.

Especially to the humorless. You know the type.

You act like what Fox is alleged to have done is something new, and something your beloved WaPo or NY Times would never engage in. While you're reaching for that napkin to wipe away the froth from your mouth, let's revisit some prior "interesting behavior" on the part of some of your journalistic icons.

You want to gloss over the WaPo/NY Times/CNN coverage of the alleged "Russian Collusion" that lead up to the Mueller investigation. Accusations of Trump and the company's illicit contacts and fealty to Putin were a daily occurrence at that time, and it went on for YEARS. Lives were ruined, laws were broken (for which no one will be punished, but that's another issue), stories were published with shoddy sourcing, and on and on. No accountability for those news organizations...yet.

Go back a little further to the 2008 campaign. Remember when the NY Times published a shoddily sourced story about McCain having an affair with a lobbyist? The rush to get a story out to damage the McCain campaign was irresistible to the Times, apparently. The lawsuit was settled for no money, but the Times had to print a rather embarrassing retraction specifically and publicly stating how badly they screwed up.

How 'bout the unforgettable Dan Rather making up his own facts to report about Dubya's service record.

We have Fareed Zakaria still working at CNN, even though he's a plagiarist. I guess plagiarism isn't a problem for the left, though. Joe Biden got elected, after all.

And, of course, we'll never know how much this libelous fiasco cost the Post: https://www.hemmerlaw.com/blog/for-t...-for-nicholas/

There's nothing new about news organizations messaging stories for eyeballs or clicks. But don't demand comment from me when I don't recall a single word from you condemning any of these. In fact, if memory serves, you referred to Sandmann as a "brat" or somesuch. So spare me your faux indignation, if for no other reason than you're embarrassing yourself.

Whell, did you used to get beat up a lot in middle school?

Yet again, the length of one of your posts correlates directly with its level of delusion and bullshit.

No other self-proclaimed news organization has ever been so fully discredited as Fox has been with this one legal brief. This is not the case of one reporter, one editor, or one story going off the rails. This is an indictment of an entire outfit. The full barrel of apples is rotten to the core. What this filing demonstrates is that the Fox universe is racked with corruption, greed, fear, irrationality, cynicism, and ignorance—from top to bottom. That ought to be the ultimate takeaway.

Mother Jones?? You're quoting from Mother Jones?!?! LMAO!!

OK, let's try this. From my perspective, you've simply taken the information as presented and characterized by the plaintiff attorney's legal brief and sourced from discovery, as the absolute last word on the behavior and motivations of Fox News' staff.

Have you sought out or examined the results of discovery and the legal brief provided by Fox News' legal counsel? I suspect not. Further, I suspect you're not even interested in looking at it. If you want to see it, it's already making the rounds on the internet. Here's a copy. You could, if you wanted to, provide me with your opinion on it after reading it, thus surprising the shit out of me if you demonstrate you've actually read it.

and of course our boy never disappoints. Convenient how he deflects away from the lie that tRump and FAUX knowingly pushed. The lie that they used in the attempt to overthrow our democracy.

I read the Fox bullshit a while back. The upshot was that they were in good faith simply reporting the newsworthy claims being made by Trump and his lawyers. Their texts, emails and depositions clearly show otherwise, regardless of how much faith you put in their relentless, daily cavalcade of lies and propaganda.

PS - Mother Jones, though certainly liberal, is far more credible (and less damaging to our country) than the folks you are defending at Fox News. They, unlike Fox, did not provide the fuel to feed a violent insurrection.
