How to stop fake news…

[abby97]

Absolutely, neither side should turn a blind eye to fake news. But there is one party that seems as if their followers will go to their graves believing fake news, even when their leaders admit to making it up.

JD Vance admits to making up crazy stories to get press attention and says he'll continue doing it

Donald Trump’s running mate said he makes stuff up during a CNN interview.

Maybe if one party didn't continually make up fake news, Romney traveled with his dog on the roof of his car, and never paid taxes or Trump hired prostitutes to pee on Obama's bed or Hunters laptop was fake, maybe more people would believe the news.

Bonespurs didn't hire porno prostitutes to pee on Obama's bed. He hired them to screw Bonespurs. And a job well done it was... as the $260,000 will attest to. Party at Stormy and Karen's place tonight!

A world where we're told Biden is "sharp" and "focused".
A world where we're told that the Afghan National Army is many times the size of the Taliban.
A world where we're told that COVID is many times more lethal than it really is.

Imagine a world where voices opposing those narratives were silenced or muted at the direction of government agents.
That's what the Democrats want.
I can't vote for that.

But you will vote for a fascist, fraudulent, felonious rapist. That is, if you're a citizen.

You mean like “hands up, don’t shoot” and “mostly peaceful protests”?

That has already told us he plans to punish and silence the people that have been against him. Guess you don't want to vote for him either huh?

Embarrassing that Fox News would for years pump out knowingly faults statements on Bonespurs' big lie and have their hosts push them. And then have to pay a half a billion dollars in fines for it, now that's embarrassing.

Really?

I'm sure lying was still profitable.

The courts should have declared them not to be "press" in the constitutional sense. Thereby losing their 1st amendment cover.

'1st amendment cover'?

What does that mean to you?

Does a reporter for the New York Times have first amendment rights that you don't?

The majority of individuals in American MSM are Democrats. It’s a free country and they can certainly vote for whomever they chose. However, their personal bias should not be part of their reporting, but that’s not been the case in recent years.

The majority? Can you back up that claim? I won’t hold my breath for anything factual. It’s no wonder the right is so stupid.

Do you just assume it isn't true, then?
Or do you wonder why your favorite sources didn't cover it?

Should media get downgraded for stories they ignore?
Remember, the most effective propaganda are lies by omission.

George Soros Fund Buys $400 Million Stake In 227 US Radio Stations Going Into 2024 Election

Billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros has been the target of controversy recently after a recent move to become a controlling shareholder in the second-largest owner of radio stations in the U.S. This isn't the first media brand Soros has bought a substantial stake in, but it worries some...

finance.yahoo.com

Audacy, the No. 2 U.S. radio broadcaster behind iHeartMedia, recently filed for bankruptcy. The company owns 227 major radio stations in 27 states and 45 cities across the U.S. These include some of the biggest channels in New York; Memphis and Chattanooga, Tennessee; Denver; Washington D.C., Miami and Orlando, Florida; Atlanta; Baltimore, Maryland; Wichita, Kansas; Austin, Dallas and Houston, Texas; Richmond, Virginia; and many major cities across California as well as several other prominent markets across the U.S.

The bankruptcy plan, which would convert debt purchases into equity ownership, saw Soros purchase roughly 40% of Audacy's debt, according to The New York Post. While that isn't a true 51% controlling stake, it's likely to be one of the largest, if not the largest, stakes in the company potentially giving the Soros Fund effective control of Audacy, The Post reported in February.

I wonder how some of you morons get out of bed and make it to work. Have you heard of Sinclair Media.? Let me know how far left they are? They own most of the tv stations in the US.

Sinclair's stations have been known for featuring news content and programming that promote conservative political positions.

The number of full-time American journalists who say they’re Republicans plummeted in the past decade, while Democrats in that profession rose.

According to a new survey titled “The American Journalist Under Attack,” released by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Republicans in the industry fell from 18% in 2002 and 7.1% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2022.

That’s significantly lower than the number of American adults who say they’re Republicans (26%), according to a 2022 ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Okay good then. We're making some progress. Thanks for that interesting info.

Why do you think the number has plummeted in the last 10 years?

In Seattle, the required right wing shows were shown at 4:00 am. I find it so humorous that the right feels that the media is out to get them. It's not the media. It's the truth.

 

[Colonoscopy]

Really?

Conspiratorial thinking unless you provide good evidence otherwise.

They've gone sour on public Ed for two reasons:

1. Cultural and religious issues
2. Bitch about spending on social service in general.

A scheme to keep a to keep people ignorant so as to keep more voters? Conspiratorial hogwash

Finland is one of the top nations in the world in education, and #1 in the world in discerning between fake news and legitimate news. They teach it in schools, at an early age, because Russia is constantly bombarding them with fake news and propaganda.

Yet in the U.S. we have one political party spreading fake news (pro Russia, election deniers, immigrants eating pets, etc.). One party is trying to degrade public education to keep the masses stupid. And it’s why we can’t have nice things…

We need to be more like Finland

I can't vote for that.

What’s funny is that you are so partisan you can’t even discuss the subject; instead you just whine and repeat tired 60-year old grievances.

 

[artradley]

Does radio count as MSM? Because conservatives have dominated that for decades. Millions listening to a fat, drug addicted, draft dodger from BFE Missouri, eventually allowing his filth control the modern GOP.

The irony is that “the most watched news station” was built specifically to be a branch of the GOP and support and amplify its message.

 

[Tiny Hands Trump]

The main thing you need to know is it's been totally unfair to the GOP and they are the real victims.

So…the right has demonized our media since the Civil Rights and Vietnam era. After three generations of this, are you surprised few conservatives choose that career?

And you continue to be off topic. This thread is not about bias among journalism. It’s about genuine fake news - and how to get people to not fall for stories that are objectively false. It seems odd this is not of much interest to you.

Biden’s mental acuity, COVID, and lies about Afghanistan’s government are ‘60-year old grievances’?

I answered a question that was asked in the thread.
NPR editor Uri Berlin hit on some of the ‘why’ you’ve seen Republican presence shrink in journalism.
Too partisan to notice it?

So when the government is promoting fake death statistics regarding COVID, is that of interest to you?
When they’re trying to silence a Stanford professor for pointing out their statistics are objectively false, is that in the public interest?
Can you catch a glimpse of why I don’t think the government can arbitrate ‘truth’?
