I dont think you understand what fake news is. You dont like that list because their bias isnt to your liking. News flash, all journalism has bias. That doesnt make it fake. Originally Posted by Colonel SnackyCakes

while of the ones there I've heard of I can agree they are either click bait or majorly bias if not outright fake, but not putting the Huffington outright on it and just a mention on the bottom is kinda suspect.

It’s always best to read multiple sources of information to get a variety of viewpoints and media frames. Some sources not yet included in this list (although their practices at times may qualify them for addition), such as The Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, and Fox News, vacillate between providing important, legitimate, problematic, and/or hyperbolic news coverage, requiring readers and viewers to verify and contextualize information with other sources.Last edited by Dadwen; 2017-01-06 at 01:18 AM.

CNN was already voted the most post-truth/fake news.
My god Off-topic is just full of liberal shit-flinging threads and it's not even the weekend yet. Every little fucking thing that pops up in the news gets misconstrued into some liberal soap box.There are no bathrooms, only Zuul.

That threat is a subjective term. Once could easily argue that misinformation is dangerous. Originally Posted by Colonel SnackyCakes

Why does it mater what site it's from? Is it really that hard to tell the differance between a story that lacks critical points and one that's doesn't? Without your ability to figure out what is missing from a story or what doesn't add up, selecting which news to abide by, still makes you a sucker.

I'm still not clear on this "Fake News" thing. Is it...
a) News that has made up 'facts"
b) News that has real facts but leaves out other real facts
c) News that spins real facts towards a certain direction
d) News that's purely opinion, not based on facts
etc.
What is it?

Damn, so many people in this thread mistaking lazy/terrible journalism with the actual problem of fake news.
They're both issues, but they're not the same issue.

Fake news is actually what it says; fake news. There was a lot of outright fake news like Obama's FEMA camps, the Pope endorsing Trump, and a lot of even more "what the fuck?" worthy articles that came out during the election. Originally Posted by belfpala

Biased news: CNN, Fox, etc trying to sugarcoat anything their beloved party does to make it seem awesome.
