The Literally 'Fake News' Thread

[ArcadiaGP]

The article mentions a single anonymous Twitter account. Not one "conservative"... yet this hit a bunch of outlets. Just... fake.

Following last Saturday’s (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story “The mystery of Melania”,
we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published.

Mrs Trump’s father was not a fearsome presence and did not control the family.

Mrs Trump did not leave her Design and Architecture course at University relating to the completion of an exam, as alleged in the article, but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model.

Mrs Trump was not struggling in her modelling career before she met Mr Trump, and she did not advance in her career due to the assistance of Mr Trump.

We accept that Mrs Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modelling work without his assistance.

Mrs Trump met Mr Trump in 1998, not in 1996 as stated in the article.

The article also wrongly claimed that Mrs Trump’s mother, father and sister relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Mr Trump. They did not.

The claim that Mrs Trump cried on election night is also false.

We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations. As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.

This is all to common among the Meme generating limp wienie snowflakes.

 

[T.Lex]

Uh... does anyone read the Telegraph and think parts of it are true?

 

[actaeon277]

So most of the article was fake then.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Perhaps a result of being so fake, hot on the heels of HuffPo and Buzzfeed.... Vice media is cutting 250 jobs.

Now's the best time to open a programming education facility for all the laid off journos that are interested in learning to code.

This is not some obscure politician in Bugscuffle, Flyover, USA, that CNN never heard of before.

Doncha know... if it's bad, it's a Republican.

Ironically, that screen print on the t-shirt was probably automated and programmed to go on their by someone.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Just looked into it further.

National news outlets are actually going after Bloomingdales now, and I think they even issued an apology already.

 

[jamil]

Never apologize to the angry mob. Hoist your middle finger instead, and maybe call them retarded.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Stephen Miller said on Twitter that a journalist mob was shaming Bloomingdales.

A journalist screeched that it was a "CUSTOMER" that flagged the shirt, and told Stephen to get his facts straight.

The person in the image above is a journalist.

How awkward... given the topic of the shirt and whatnot.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Also, I'm officially graduating the Jussie Smollet "assault" to this thread. It's bull****.

Back on topic...

Waiting for these journos go to after Amazon.

[ArcadiaGP]

And this is just propaganda.

Ignore the reasons they're in the news... just focus on the "Republicans Pounce!" angle.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

And this is just propaganda.

Sheesh. The product of liberal education strikes again. There are clearly only 2 women in that picture, not 3. Gotta love "core math".

 

[jamil]

And this is just propaganda.

Ignore the reasons they're in the news... just focus on the "Republicans Pounce!" angle.

Uh, isn’t that as much an indictment of the media at least as much as GOP? But anyway, they’re not targets as much as laughing stocks. What contributes to the laughs is the Democrats who take them seriously

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Jake Tapper aired all of Trump's "anti-semitic" moments, in defense of Omar.

That's quite an angle for what they did for him during the primaries...

... also, "Trump's anti-semitic too" is an odd way to defend their girl.

The new whataboutism
