Backpedal? Where did I backpedal? I've said the same thing all along, backed it up, and explained it to you over and over again.
That, "but no, they're not fake" line was sarcastic, mimicking you. It's pretty sad that you have to chop up a paragraph to try to make a point, but I suspect that's your way of attempting to leave a thread with some bit of dignity. Don't worry Ron, I'll let you go. I've taught you enough lessons for today.
BTW here's the entire post, in which anyone with a brain can see where I'm insulting you. Of course news stories made by the government are fake, only you could somehow say they aren't.

To sum up Ron's points in this thread; the government making news stories and then pawning them off as created by the networks is not fake. Armstrong Williams did not work for CNN. Hundreds of thousands of people DO NOT go bankrupt every year in the USA due to medical bills. And lastly, the law of averages does not exist.
You should seriously consider becoming a college professor or something.
