The rise of left-wing, anti-Trump fake news

Since the US election presidential race, fact checking websites report what seems like an increase in anti-Trump, 'liberal fake news'.

The fact-checking site Snopes told BBC Trending radio that in the past week, for example, they have debunked many more anti-Republican party stories than pro-Republican ones.
One example of an incorrect story is the unflattering, digitally-manipulated image, which suggested that US President Donald Trump had diarrhoea during a recent golf outing.

Another falsely suggested that President Trump profited from the US missile strikes in Syria
It's hard to gather definitive data on the political bias in fake news stories, so the evidence for a rise in 'liberal fake news' is essentially anecdotal. But a recent study did effectively debunk the stereotype that fake news tends to be shared more by uneducated people or those with right-leaning politics, as compared to other groups.



Probably “trending” because of the right and their boiler rooms.
I mean it’s not as if the president is patient zero when it comes to this stuff guffaws


Merkel's Head Snaps After Trump Calls German Reporter Fake News

Donald Trump lying for 13 minutes straight.

And listen to his pathetic supporters & enablers of a mad lying fuk - is there something very wrong with these people?
"he tells it like he is" - no he does not.
“he speaks the truth” – 96% of the time he does not but I will concede he does 4% of the time.
“he says what he means” no he doesnt

Americans may have to learn to use their heads instead of blindly sharing headlines.

They'll need quite some convincing first, though, if current habits are any indication.

Ironically, adding to the flood of fake news plays into the hands of Trump, as it helps him delegitimize news media.

problem here to but no where near as bad.

Ironically, adding to the flood of fake news plays into the hands of Trump, as it helps him delegitimize news media. i get that, more so applicable to his supporters (which as far as i can see is anyone who hates what they label, often wrongly, "left" but he is clearly on the record as having delegitimized himself 100s, perhaps 1000s, of times over. Besides that is how he got where he is today.

That's the whole point, isn't it?
"Airstrip one has always been at war with Eastasia! Anything else is fake news."
People who make excuses for that stuff deserve a lot worse than what they're getting, frankly.
