    When Obama interfered in BiBi prior election it was to benefit, the leading state sponsor of terror, his friends in Iran. Literally working against American interest

    You and I both know that the only definition for "Fake News" is "News that reflects poorly on Trump."

    Go ahead and explain the 18 steps necessary to prove "reporting on his vague threat" means "they are for open borders and against our immigration laws being enforced."

    The reality is it’s no longer fake. It’s crystal clear that the left wing propaganda machine will misrepresent the truth. That’s no longer fake, it’s the reality we live in

    Nothing personal, but you may have a better chance of being taken seriously if you spelled ANONYMOUS correctly.

    Also, the assertion that:

    Anonymous (spelled correctly) Source = Fake News is beyond ludicrous.

    ^Tell that to the citizens who witnessed the Watergate Scandal bring down Nixon.


    The next time, I would suggest that you consider using spell-check.

    And, it wasn't a single instance of one misplaced letter, you made the error several times.

    It is Spelled A-N-O-N-Y-M-O-U-S.

    You're Welcome.:salute:

    "Anomynios"?:roflol:

    Typos aside, that is a ridiculous claim.... Anonymous Source = Fake News.... Just ridiculous.

    Absolutely NOTHING printed (or posted online these days) via the NYTimes or Washington Post is Fake News... It's a moronic 2 word slogan (2 words being the MAX number of words a Trump supporter can memorize) that has no basis in reality.

    Do those publications make mistakes? Sure... it happens, but they print retractions and move on.... That's the way it's been done for 300 years in the USA and will be done long after Trump is taking a dirt nap...

    Exactly.

    Pro-Trump RW FAKE NEWS = Really IS Fake News (that is, in many cases, made up of complete fantasy).

    That said, Trump's Propaganda Machine is well aware of the gullibility of his voters (and their propensity to take Fake News as Gospel).

    So, under that metric, that is how we arrived at the 24/7 RW BS Fake News Cycle.:smh:

    the Watergate reporters just didn't rely on what the anomynios source deep throat told them they took that info that was given to them and verified it got corroboration that is how investigating reporting use to work you jut didn't relay solely on the anomynios source they corroborated what a source told them

    but using your belief system a anomynios source told be you kick puppies so it must be true because a anomynios source told me

    Tell me your name. These reporters are giving you their real name. They are the ones who risk financial and legal ruin. You want to accuse me of a crime, give me your actual name so that you will risk the same.

    And for ****'s sake, the word is anonymous.

    Obviously... But multiple anonymous sources telling you the same thing can be corroboration... The only reporters who rely on a single anonymous source are unemployed reporters...

    I am willing to bet that this is a lie. That no-one told you anything about MrTLegal. That is the difference between what you did and what reporters do.

    You guys claim that anything that is reported with anonymous sources is automatically a lie. [Actually, most Trump supporters only say that if the report is not complimentary to Trump; if it is positive, they believe it.] Sorry, but that just is not correct. Reporters (with a very few exceptions) go to great efforts to make sure their stories check out. They do not make up fiction. If they were to do that they would be risking their careers.

    If a news story says that an anonymous source said X, then you can be pretty darn sure that there was someone, who wishes to remain anonymous, who said X. Most reporters will then try to confirm it through other sources / research. They don't typically just run with a story based on one anonymous source.

    But that doesn't fit with your child-god's narrative, so you dismiss anything uncomplimentary as "fake news".

    Why would the NYT tell the evil bad Russia what the U.S. government is doing to combat Russia???

    Yes, it's treason what the NYT is doing.

    I would be tickled pink if "millions" were deported, but it's not going to happen. They'll probably round up about 100 and the liberal media will be apoplectic.

    Why? Because the NYT checked with the White House and the WH didn't have any security concerns with the story being published.

    So there's that.

    Not treason if they checked first and were given the OK. But hey - keep throwing around inflammatory BS accusations that can easily be proven to be false. That is the kind of stuff that helps bring the country together.

    What is your real name? You accused me of a crime, so stand up and stop being a coward. Subject yourself to potential criminal and civil liability.

    Trump is the king of the snowflakes with his multiple deferments to get out of VN. Funny you and your ilk defends his actions, so you spare the phony "outrage."
