"fake news" for who? For the Chinese government?
For the company that denies that their new phone explodes?
This is getting very ugly
- tn13 10y agoHere is the definition of Fake news for you: 1. Any news that shows guns in good light. 2. Any news that might question global warming 3. Any news that might question Islam ... You get the idea. Prior to Trump's victory everything he said was racist, sexist, bigoted. All this supporters were labeled racists and fascists. The fake news debate is nothing but putting first amendment at risk.
- diyorgasms 10y agoThis is clearly bad faith flamebait. Downvoted and flagged.
- wyager 10y agoBeyond his somewhat hyperbolic list of "fake news" criteria, he's not wrong (although he's being a bit indelicate). Not sure why you would immediately assume his comment was in bad faith.
- tn13 10y agoThis sort of comment actually vindicates my stand. Whatever I said was sarcastic, perfectly civil and closer to facts yet (what I believe to be) a reasonable person like you downvoted, flagged and attributed motives.
- beachstartup 10y agoit's "fake" for whoever pays or can influence the most.
