Roundup of fake news from the MSM in the last week

This is an interesting list. I can't verify all of this and a few are questionable but lots of them seem to be correct:

Can anyone poke any holes in this?

We seem to be living in a society of mass disinformation from all sides right now.

No one cares, Fox News and other conservative outlets lie all the time, people are use to it. Just find one you enjoy and have fun.

I don't know, I can refute quite a few of these claims off the top of my head:

1. The media called the refugee pause a Muslim ban because TSA and Homeland Security started detaining EVERYONE traveling from affected countries. It was only later that the administration got around to clarifying the law to the agencies it affected. MSM accurately reported what turned out to be botched implementation of the EO.

2. This one may be true. I don't know anything about CNN or Fox's ratings

3. This goes back to the first one. When government officials are acting on incorrect information, you can't blame the media for having their facts wrong.

4. If Glenn Kessler encouraged people to sign a dissent memo, and then they did it, that was their prerogative.

5. Lies of omission. Could be true. I'll have to look more into it.

6. MSM is not trying to tell people some people close to Trump are committing voter fraud. Trump said people were registered to vote in multiple states was evidence of voter fraud and the MSM called out several people on his own team (and one of his daughters) are also registered in multiple states. This was only reported because Trump made a big deal about it first.

7. I have not heard about the Dick Cheney one. The site even says it's a "Viral Lie", so I don't know why they would include it on a list that's supposedly about the MSM.

8. No one said the said Saudi Arabia was excluded from the list because of Trumps business ties there, they just pointed out it was interesting since most of the 9/11 hijackers came from there. Also, remember all the threads people made here about Clinton's ties to the Saudis? Do they not care anymore?

9. I literally do not care about the family photos story.

10. Okay, if you don't think singling out Muslim nations like this is going to help ISIL "prove" their narrative, we are just not on the same wavelength about human nature.

Alright, I'm done with this. Maybe someone else can take it from here.

If it's true but critical of lord fuhrer Drumpf, it's fake news.

If it's false but praises the glorious dear leader, it's true.

@garywood69: I haven't read the list but since it's coming from a conservative site I'm not expecting it to be honest either.

Well going by that logic there are way more mainstream liberal media outlets than conservative outlets, so unfortunately that means the majority of the false media belongs to the left.

How about instead of relying on one outlet, cross-check articles between several from differing perspectives?

It's pretty much getting to the point that in every article-based GS thread made critical of Trump comes out to be provably false or incorrect. And then liberals forget about it and try again the next day. There's virtually zero self awareness in the process at all - just a bunch of zombies.

They missed out the most blatant fake news:

Shooting in mosque in Quebec city

Fox News and Breitbart reported that the terrorist was a Moroccan immigrant. The terrorist is actually a Trump supporter.

The source of those reports saying he was Moroccan were from Reuters and the local french paper

Nice try though

Also gotta love the absent-mindedness of comparing reporting on a developing situations (which were quickly amended once verified info was released) versus articles that make authoritative (but infactual) declarations that were never amended. Can't be surprised organizations like NPR are making fake articles when Trump is about to cut their funding.

If it's developing you don't report on rumors. You still use facts. Fake news...alternative facts.....the conservative bible.

I dont watch any news, its all fake news. Its all Trump propaganda anyways.

So Fox and Brietbart are using MSM sources for stories, without fact checking them before reporting, and while also dissing the MSM? Got it...Fox and Brietbart are lazy and hypocritical. I'm glad you could clear that up for us.
