You may not agree with her, but she isn't dumb, far from it.

I told several people on Facebook about fake news they were posting on both candidates the past few months. One was about Michelle Obama's mother being on the payroll, which is complete nonsense.

You also have to beware of "friends" in Facebook. In the last month I have received messages from friends I know -- but it turned out that their Facebook identities were lifted to search for targets in Facebook world.

The media has no one to blame for this other than themselves.
When you are so obviously in the tank, lying, spinning, biased, and incompetent on so many issues every intelligent person on earth is going to reject you and start looking for a more trustworthy source elsewhere.
The problem is that there are a lot of fake news sources out there and it is causing a problem. The problem is that it's impossible trust the MSM and it's difficult to sort out news and information from alternate sources.
But I've seen lists that have Zerohedge, Wikileaks, Ronpaulinstitute, and Lewrockwell on them. When you have stuff like that on your list of fake news, I trust you even less. Those are sources information and views that simply run against mainstream thinking.
Thank God we had Wikileaks to expose the crooked and subversive DNC and Podesta and their ties to the MSM. If sites like that start getting banned from Facebook, Twitter, Google searches etc.. it's time for boycotts and other action against them because that means we are on the path to everything this country is NOT and millions have died to prevent.

Wikileaks and their kind are the new media.
The LSM is nothing but marketing venues, revenue streams. Nothing investigative about any of them.
FOX is the best, but if you take away political content, FOX would be a 1 hour weekly show.

It's exactly what I've been saying in this thread. When you intuitively know that the msm is in the tank or you know enough about a subject to see the spin, missing pertinent facts, agenda etc...you lose some faith in what the media is telling you. When your worst fears get clearly exposed via wikileaks, there is no longer a doubt. Now you know 100% you can't trust anything that CNN, MSNBC, The NY Times, The Washington Post, Fox etc.. says. It's all spun bullshit with an agenda just like this article.
So you look for alternate sites you can trust more. That means you are going to stumble upon some really fake stuff also.
What I don't understand is why liberals trust fake news sites like CNN, MSNBC, The NY Times, The Washington Post etc... when they've been thoroughly exposed also.
