    So, we should believe ABC News? You ask us to believe the network that put George Stefanopoulos out to cover the election day 2016 festivities without disclosing that George worked side by side with Hillary to either silence Bill Clinton's accusers or destroy them? They are credible?

    So, we should believe CNN? You ask us to believe the network who put Jake Tapper out to host the Parkland student town hall without disclosing that he was a spokesman for Handgun Control, Inc? They are credible?

    What other radical propaganda outlets would you have us trust?

    And what about all of the left wing nut nonsense sites like Vox, USA Today, Gawker, Salon, Buzzfeed and Vice?

    Yes because we all know that the far left and mainstream media NEVER "obfuscate the truth." We all know that they ALWAYS "reveal" the truth! :roflol:

    That is exactly correct and the right conclusion but I would challenge you to find a retraction from Fox. I would also challenge you to show a MSM story that was so egregiously wrong and if you find one that a retraction wasn't given.

    Exactly, so why did you declare only the right wing sites as being "on notice?" Isn't the entire media on notice?

    Again, nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. Nothing. Right wing sites are free to publish what they want. Why is this concept so hard to the minions to understand?

    I guess www.usa_kgb.com/ was already taken for that trash website. They are determined spammers claiming they are creating 7,500 websites.

    They already have THREE (3) likes! In 5 or 10 years, maybe they can have almost as many likes as I do on this forum. m Unfortunately, the forum only allows me to have one account, not 7,500, or I could have lots more "LIKES." ROFL!

    Because Thinking persons would never dream of voting for
    a Donald Trump { successful and universally recognized businessman
    and celebrity }.
    I coulda said Thinking persons would never Think of voting for
    a Donald Trump.Where the Economy has turned a corner.
    Jobs and more jobs each month.3 % Growth is now the new normal.
    Immigration is being managed.Sanctuary City's,as well.
    Freedom's and Liberties are taking on a whole new meaning.
    That go hand-in-hand with Americana.
    People can now feel proud to say ... Merry Christmas.
    Wheras during Obama's reign it was being talked down and even
    eliminated.
    The Military is no longer being emasculated and treated as
    if a bunch of 2nd class citizens.As like the Veterans Adm. under Obama.
    I could Go on ... but then it's too easy.
    It takes a real " thinking person " to doubt All That.
    Have I got that about right.

    Soros has spent millions trying to discredit American news outlets with radical leftist Klans like Media Matters. He even has fact denial websites trying to discredit people who want to restore America's former greatness ,,, and you are still worried about the horrors of facts coming out. Maybe if you throw billions at squelching facts, you will be successful.

    Politifact and Snopes are not focused only on fake news.

    The hope is that this site will focus very directly on that particular issue

    Well that's begging the question. Let me try again: What is this site going to do for you that current news "fact check" sites either are not doing or refusing to do?

    How is that going to be any different than what we have now? It's always about some "Issue", so if you can convince me that these "Issue" will be address in a nonpartisan way then no problem. Although being the skeptic I have "Grown" to be I'd be willing wager a grand that will never happen and here is why! Anytime "Funding" is involved the favoritism will go to the highest contributor and that's simply the nature of the beast!

    I could not agree more. Trump supporters avoid the truth. Why? Because Trump is so bad his followers can't defend him. They avoid issues where they would be forced to defend him. A few brave souls sometimes venture into these important issues. They respond with ad hominum attacks, ludicrous wise cracks, cartoons, and/or they try to change the subject.

    Today's vital issues that Trump fans largely ignore are Trump's upcoming summit with Kim Jong Un (if it happens), Trump's tariffs being used to threaten our allies, and Trump dissing off a valuable ally in East Asia, Japan.

    I keep asking myself, why do they support Trump when they can't defend their decision to do so? Is intelligence an issue?

    Not sure if I understand your complaint.

    Snopes , Politifact etc. do a good job of refuting politically inspired lies and "falsehoods" with ...ya know....actual facts...but they cover a wide spectrum.

    Ostensibly this would focus directly on fake news...not just skewed opinion

    And the leftwing sites are free to publish as they like also. Why does this concept clearly elude those minions on the left?

    I signed up. Thank you. I am wondering if they, too, have an agenda. We'll see.

    So you also assume that right wing sites are loaded with fake news?

    I don't assume and I'm hardly that naïve either, that's why I posted what I did ;)

    How does that compare to Obama launching an investigation of James Rosen? We have nothing like that fascist act today, but were treated to 8 years of Obama calling out Rush Limbaugh and Fox News --- and, unlike Obama, Trump has been attacked in 95% of the reporting on the taxpayer funded airwaves.

    So you're saying you accept it when Snopes and Politifact are used to point out false claims. Good for you, because most on the right laugh and dismiss them.
