RE: Why we need Steemit: 42% of Republicans say accurate, negative stories are fake news [dTube]
Settle down, cowboy. She's right.
The news is fake; at least in America. We literally watch your news for comedy. Literally.
Watch Kyle Kalinski, and read Chomsky. CNN and MSNBC are every ounce as fake news as Fox.
Also hold on to your boots: everything is subjective; there is no 'truth'. Truth is a religous word, as in 'gospel truth', halleluiah!
"When repubs express an opinion that the mainstream media distributes fake news, then why do those same people reject fact-checking organizations who objectively look at the data?"
Why do paranoid people who won't listen to facts listen to facts? Well, I'm no scientician but: I'm pretty sure it's because they won't listen to facts.
Or is it that they are trying to make up their own "facts." There are a lot of snake oil salesmen out there.
I don't think it's responsible to say that all news is fake. That's the first thing a dictator like Putin wants you to believe. As soon as a dictator gets power, he starts bashing the press (or jailing them, or killing them).
