Fake News

9. Exactly! Why the fuss now? Half of whats on CNN is fake news, what about national enquirer et all??

Why the outrage all of a sudden?? Why is corporate sponsored/filtered/created fake news and tabloid format fake news (My sister was impregnated by an alien) ok? But not facebook's fake news?

I suspect that the corporate networks (who have been loosing customers, ratings, and mindshare to smaller, independent, internet-based news sources, and stinging from things like the Donna Brazille scandal), see thenselves as the "antidote" to this... that they, being more "regulated" (ie corporate controlled) are somehow "better"

It reminds me of the current "suburban opioid epademic" being pushed by our corporate networks... . Heroin (an opioid) and crack have been gutting inner cities for DECADES. One day out of the blue the guys at CNN started running around screaming OPIOD OPIOD OPIOD EPIDEMIC EPIDEMIC EPIDEMIC. I'd bet LOTS of money this was the same day the newscorps got their "educational seminar" (and donation) from whatever pharma company produces Suboxone.

These assholes dont realize how transparent they are. The sad thing is i dont think their frontline guys like Cuomo, Lemmon, and others even realize that they are nothing but corporate mouthpieces.
