The Literally 'Fake News' Thread

POLITICO’s reporting on President Trump and the Bank of China

You'll have to dig down around 20 paragraphs before they admit they ****ed up and apologized.

If only due diligence and journalistic integrity were still being practiced.


And now I am regretting reading the Politico comment section

A reporter asks Trump about the administrations responsibility now that C-19 deaths have surpassed Vietnam war deaths...

I hope the answer was something to the effect that "Once again, too many American lives have been lost due to the bankrupt ideology of communism"

That's not actually a question. It's an accusation worded in the form of a question as a veil.

That's not actually journalism. It's activism.

That is what the left calls journalism.

Any idea who?

 

[2A_Tom]

Just a guess, it sounds like a Jim Acosta question.

Just typing that leaves a bad taste in my mind.

 

[Ingomike]

Any idea who?

Dailywire reported it as a "reporter for New York Magazine"...

It was a question, my post was imprecise. It was asked if he deserved reelection since more had died than Vietnam...

Still activism...

There is a major difference between the number of Covid-19 deaths and Nam deaths. Death from and in Vietnam was 100% preventable. Deaths from the virus pretty much are not near 100% preventable.

Exactly. Trump didn't order people to go out and put themselves at risk of getting the virus. Johnson on the other hand did order people to go to Vietnam.

So I tried the President’s idea on
disinfectant and drank a shot of
Everclear.
I am feeling pretty good.
I think he must be on to something.

Cool! Now I wouldn't go injecting Lysol... might have some kind of synergistic effect.

 

[2A_Tom]

Drinking everclear is OK.

Please, please, please, don't inject it.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Please, please, please, don't inject it.

I don't know that I'd go so far as saying drinking Everclear is okay... It might not kill ya, but you probably won't be okay.

And as was pointed out on a local talk radio show today, more people died from fentonal in a yr under Obama. Does that make him responsible m

It's phrased as a question, but the intent is to be an accusation. "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" Is technically a question, but the purpose is to accuse the person of being a wife beater. It's an accusation. That's what I was saying.

I got an infraction for saying that to a member as an example of a loaded question, members and mods not recognizing it as rhetorical.

Kudos to mods for reversing the infraction when I explained it to them.

The first time I ever heard it was when my pastor said it to me in a slightly crowded hallway, I was dumbfounded.

Disgraced ex-“fact checker” for The New Yorker who had to resign because she posted a tweet falsely accusing double-amputee vet employed bt ICE of having a Nazi tattoo gets caught again, this time for posting tweet picture altered to make it appear an anti-lockdown protester was carrying a sign that said “Work sets you free.” It actually said “Set small business free”.

Talia's still at, huh?

She's pretty much a disgrace, but I do remember her on Jeopardy! for two distinct reasons...
