All the network news agencies (CNN, MSNBC, FNC, New York Times, etc., ALL!.) are fake news agencies!

[Joe941]

They fed us bogus election polls that put democrat supporters to sleep. We did not feel the urgency of getting out the vote and volunteering for the campaign because we were going to win in a LANDSLIDE! Landslide we were told! They completely ruined our chances with those fake news polls!

[Lotusflower70]

1. Mobilize

Start tuning them out and let them know what you think of their product through emails. Take away your dollars until they start making sense.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Wonder how bad their

audience numbers are. Have not watch any of the majors since Election Night.

[Joe941]

4. I hope they go out of business.

[SticksnStones]

35. Yeah well that's a lot of people losing a lot of jobs that you're "hoping" for...

Just saying

[white_wolf]

47. Yeah I don't want that...

I WOULD like for them to cover things better. Honestly, I really feel like a lot of the expectations towards an "unbiased" media leads to false equivalency. It's how Clinton's emails were somehow just as bad as Trump being a conman with a history of sexual assault. So freaking stupid.

[Joe941]

49. Actually the jobs would be replaced by a better media - one that doesn't make new up!

[Madam45for2923]

29. Me too! Actually about 6 months earlier!

[get the red out]

3. And they are normalizing Trump

I think they are afraid of him and his cronies.

[maryellen99]

5. I also think they're afraid of retaliation from Putin as well nt

[get the red out]

9. Good point

I hadn't considered that, I had been so focused on Trump's followers threatening people. There may be even worse things going on out of sight. If that's true, there would be no one to do anything about it, certainly not Trump, the Congress, or the Trump-loving FBI.

[Joe941]

6. Yup. They have been bought and paid for my Trump and his cronies.

They truly are the poster child for FAKE NEWS.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

12. "my Trump"

Oh, Sigmund!

[OhZone]

7. I agree that the networks share fake news -

But I think the polls were right and there was massive election fraud and voter suppression.


Do you really think the polls were fake?

[Joe941]

8. Even the polls for Bernie (surprise win in Michigan) were fake!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. I think this thread is fake news.

[SticksnStones]

36. ditto. nt

[A-Schwarzenegger]

43. Yep, crude muddying of the waters.

Nice try, OP.

[uponit7771]

11. +1, They allow their guest to bold face ass lie !!! What's more fake than that !!

[Joe941]

50. How about tag teaming a lone progressive with 2-3 repubs!

[iluvtennis]

13. Manipulative is the word I would use for MSM...

...they manipulated the info they provided to the public in the interest of their RATINGS. They never help Don the Con's feet to the fire for anything in fear that he would ban their coverage of him and hence affect their ratings. I am very disgusted with them.

And they aren't changing with him as Prz elect. GAH, GAH, GAH

[Joe941]

46. Sadly I have to agree.

[NCTraveler]

14. Slept our way to millions more votes. nt.

[speaktruthtopower]

15. They all seem to march down a pretty narrow path

[JCanete]

16. they've been fake for a long time. We keep trying to juggle an image and platform that doesn't

get us on their bad side, and they keep gleefully trashing anything slightly left-leaning anyway. It is the side they play for. Its time we started calling out their corporate affiliations.

[jalan48]

17. I have to agree-Infotainment.

[Joe941]

18. If fake news is more entertaining than real news...

run with it. It's all about making money.

[jalan48]

19. It's about brainwashing people.

That's why the CIA has used fake news in other countries to sway elections. "It's about money" is the cover story.

[Joe941]

20. Good point.

[jalan48]

21. Thanks for the post. Thought provoking is a good thing.

[meow2u3]

25. It's about making money brainwashing people

[jalan48]

26. Even better!

[mythology]

22. Um no

Actually the national polls were pretty close, off by a point or two. Just because you really want to believe something, doesn't actually make it true. And the state polls were in line with historical averages going back to 1972.

Yes Clinton was more likely to win than not, but it a small lead with a high number of undecided voters, didn't mean Clinton had some insurmountable lead in the polls.

Please actually bother to go look at the polling data, especially the 538 data, and you will see that you're wrong on this.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. Purpose of thread is to minimize the actual RW wackadoodle deliberate fake news stories,

by equating them with passive fearful stuff from MSM.

[Bradical79]

23. That's not fake news

That's people in general not being equiped to interpret polling.

[doc03]

27. I just shut off MSNBC when they broke offf to cover Shitler in Michigan nt

[AgadorSparticus]

28. Bunch of propaganda channels!!! People need to turn that shit off

[Joe941]

30. I agree, but curiosity keeps people coming back - I'm guilty of that from time to time.

[AgadorSparticus]

31. You know what, I have long given up all those channels for YEARS but you know what?

I know exactly what has been on it all these years because of DU. LOL

[Peigan68]

32. democrat supporters? Next time, try Democratic supporters

the term democrat is sometimes used as an insult by right wing republics (see what I just did there?) to undermine our party.

[Joe941]

34. Noted. will do.

[ucrdem]

33. You're half right: the voter apathy line is a crock of horseshit.

At last count the turnout was 58+ and that was after the turbo-charged voter caging that went on after the VRA was repealed in 2013.

[Joe941]

51. Its explained perfectly on morning joe...

[pnwmom]

57. And so you're getting truth from Morning Joe?

[Joe941]

60. Or is it fake news?!?

[pnwmom]

61. He has his bias. But it's wrong to lump all MSM together and pretend, as you

and many right-wingers do, that there's no difference between the MSM and the fake news sites.

[Joe941]

62. Not saying there is no difference...

I said some are worse than others (see post #45), but all publish fake stories. Some do so constantly while others like MSM do so less often. The point is you can't believe everything you hear (even if it comes from MSM). This election cycle they all hurt Hillary and cost us the election! You really think America would have elected tRump if the media wasn't constantly being negative on Hillary with fake and unfair garbage?

[pnwmom]

63. LOL. You should explain that to the guy who wrote the OP. nt

[Dem2]

37. Nah

You're posting fake exaggerated claims.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

44. Yep, transparent & obvious

is transparent & obvious.

[m-lekktor]

38. So the "russian conspiracy" story from the same news outlets must be fake as well. nt

[pnwmom]

39. This is a Rethug meme -- that MSM are as bad as the fake sites.

This meme shouldn't be pushed here.

[LaydeeBug]

42. This right here. Let it sink. nt

[Joe941]

45. Of course some are worse than others - but they are all in the game.

[pnwmom]

52. No they are not the same. The fake new sites publish fiction.

Though the MSM vary in their quality, they produce stories based on reporting.

[Joe941]

48. so you don't think FNC makes fake news?

[pnwmom]

53. Your OP specifically refers to "ALL" of them, not solely to FNC. nt

[Joe941]

56. See post #51. MSNBC admits to doing exactly what my thread starting post says!

[pnwmom]

58. Again, your OP says "ALL." You clearly weren't reading the WA Post,

Newsweek, etc.

[Joe941]

59. You were defending MSM even while they admit to doing what i said.

[demon in basement]

40. no

They're businesses. Remember what Les Moonvez said?

[LaydeeBug]

41. This is divde and conquer disinformation, people, let it sink.

[Kuhl]

54. Who would you consider to be 'real'?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

55. He likes Morning Joe.
