That's not what a fake news site is. It's not just having a misleading headline. Originally Posted by veehro

The first link in that image is about scheduling the meeting. The article about the actual meeting:
Japan PM Shinzo Abe Seeks To Build Trust With Donald Trump In First Meeting

There is a reason the meme doesn't have links for you to click on, to see what the article's being compared are.Folly and fakery have always been with us... but it has never before been as dangerous as it is now, never in history have we been able to afford it less. - Isaac Asimov

It's two articles that are not about the same thing. One is about scheduling issues with the meeting and the Routers one is about the meeting as well. The actual huffington post article about the meeting has a very similar title to the Routers one. Originally Posted by Hiram

Trumpeters think huufington podt is fake, but think brietbart and fox news are bastions of truth.
And people say trumpsters are thick...

You have an issue with foodies reacting to Trump liking his steak well done and not the OP attempting to misguide the audience? Originally Posted by zenkai

The OP it self is 'fake'... it's not showing the same story, trying to guide you by titles alone. It's why there is no link to the actual story. You then have people talk about fake news, when the actual story that Routers covers in that meme, exists with nearly identical title on HuffPo. This thread is using misinformation to complain about misinformation... Originally Posted by Dkwhyevernot

Acting as arbiter of real vs fake news sources is grotesque.
The list should be about strong vs weak arguments/positions/ideas.Last edited by PC2; 2016-11-18 at 05:05 PM.

I don't trust much that I see on Huffington Post, a lot of it is hyperbole or fake. Once in a while they get a good, true story that nobody else has.
Maybe Facebook could label Huffington Post, "Right once in a blue moon"..

I know... you think one is funny and agree with a post calling it Cuckington post, while someone posting misinformation is lol worthy because you don't even visit the site. That's the point... Originally Posted by zenkai

They certainly make no attempt to mask their bias.

If this were the late 1800's and their paper was a print edition, I'd probably be using it to wipe my ass with.

By fake news they mean the stuff that was created by random teens in FYROM.

No liberal has ever claimed the Huffington Post was an unbiased news source. Even the HUffPo itself doesn't claim that.

That headline sounds like something a Bizarro-Breitbart might post. Hey, maybe that's what we should call Huff-Po, Bizarro Breitbart! Originally Posted by Laerrus
