This is why fake news is dangerous

[Themius]

President Donald Trump appeared to rely on a dubious Fox News report Tuesday morning to unleash an attack on his predecessor, accusing President Barack Obama, without any real evidence, of granting citizenship to 2,500 Iranians as part of nuclear deal negotiations.
"Just out that Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians - including to government officials," Trump tweeted. "How big (and bad) is that?"

Especially when you have a president who works in the fucking White House who can easily fact check this but just believes fox and friends because it is fox. He is that viewer who just believes everything and doesn’t then go to back it up even when he has access.

I love how the POTUS can just equate being Iranian with being bad/terrorists or whatever and no one in Merica even cares about it.

What did you expect from an idiot...

The great orange man child never ceases to amuse. Tweet on, President Cheeto, Tweet on. Go Murica and muh guns and all that blind rhetoric.

Trump is a racist xenophobe and I think everyone is just used to it by now.

Just because you keep saying it, doesn't make any of it true. Hell here you are in a thread bitching about his lack of fact-checking, yet you have no facts to support this claim. In fact, historical evidence suggests otherwise, but don't let that interfere with your OccupyDemocrats-esque narratives...

Well, he did refuse to rent to black people, he has disparaged Mexicans on many occasions. he called for a Muslim ban.

You. Are. Welcome.

That is a pretty dog. Looks it would be a fast runner.

But on topic, I think fake news networks like CNN, MSNBC and ABC are dangerous.

[Judgedredd]

Lol, people still don't get it:

For the left, Breitbart and the like is fake news.

For the right, CNN and just about every other non conservative news outlet is fake news.

The only objective thing about fake news is that it is political invective. The real root of this 'fake news' problem is polarisation of society, which has its roots in something else.

Same reason why most Chinese Americans are stereotyped as accountants and their Japanese counterparts get derisively labelled as Mr. Miyagi.

Their fault for believing the Hollywood bullshit in the first place.

It doesn’t matter why President Trump gets active, as long as he gets active. It was a bad deal, so he cancelled it. Do you really need any more reason? Also people should rather trust President Trumps twitter than ANY news site.

[Realitytrembles]

Say it with me people, AP and Reuters. Nearly everyone else has some kind of agenda, blatant or not.

[Cizr]

CNN are well know fake news. Not sure if I trust them here

Do you want to just go to his feed because he definitely said it based on Fox story

At least they fact check and bring up real numbers.

yes, because obama was SO HONEST and forthright and NEVER tried to implant racist or facilitate it, so glad that fake news is all trumps fault and hasn't existed for decades......

[Enthusiastic Steward]

How are they well known fake news? Outside of the fact that Trump simply calls them Fake News every chance he can, can you give me an example of an actual fake story they ran as fact? Or are you equating 'biased' with 'fake'?

Also people should rather trust President Trumps twitter than ANY news site.

How do you parse things out when he goes on Twitter to say something and then a couple days later goes on Twitter again and explicitly states he never said it? How do you sell someone that this behavior somehow engenders trust?

Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons would be somewhat excusable, if he had ever done it, so far he's just done the wrong things for the wrong reasons.

It was a bad deal, so he cancelled it.

Well, you're half right.

Vast majority of America doesn't care at all about politics or other countries. The same way fanatical political people care about Iran being terrorists or the fact we should all be hugging, there are about 5x as many people who don't care.

Correction: No one cares that an idiot is saying idiotic things.
