Fake News Thread

[Ill Lou Malnati]

This is the thread where all Trump tweets and Infowars links & videos should be posted.

Always gets me when the alt-right morons here try to Alex Jones as an actual source.

Or like that clown @b_low_brown citing Spicer saying there's no collusion with the Russians.

nikka they under investigation as we speak, they're not the most objective source right now

As a reminder, statistically if you don't follow MSM sources, you're MUCH less informed by a broad margin

A Rigorous Scientific Look Into The 'Fox News Effect'

 

[Apex Mentality]

Any news article with potential for mass manipulation from a source with corporate backing should be taken with a grain of salt... Note the subject matter and presentation, and see if there's an agenda behind it.

On the other side of the spectrum... News from sources opposed to the establishment should be examined for how rational and level headed the messenger is, or credentials.

Dailykos is liberal, but biased? I wouldn't say it's biased to the point of sensationalism. You have to separate the blog posting from the news aggregation I think.

The also have a really good Black community in there. Check the Black kos section.

I've found Daily Kos to exaggerate the stories they report. Their headlines are definitely designed to elicit an emotional response for liberal minded people.

Examples:

"Kris Kobach alleges voter fraud in New Hampshire, because he can't read. (Updated)"

"Young girl flips off Infowars interviewer, instantly becomes a Twitter favorite"

"Judge blocks extremist Texas law banning safest second-trimester abortion method"


The "Biased, Sensationalist Journalism" section I posted has both liberal and conservative sources (mostly conservative, tho )
