This is very scary. Fake news is becoming a huge thing.
This weekend on Facebook one of my local friends - an older man - posted a link to an article about how "adults shouldn't take ibuprofen". The article talks about how "all of the doctors" are telling their patients not to take ibuprofen. The article didn't name any specific doctors or hospitals, and didn't give any real reasons why someone shouldn't take ibuprofen. Half way through the article they start to talk about some kind of alternative medicine. Of course, at the end of the article there was links to buy this alternative medicine.
All of his friends were all over it - OMG ibuprofen is suddenly bad for us, all of these doctors are telling us this, and we should try this alternative medicine. His wife was all into it, and a few other people were believing it. It was just amazing how they all accepted this article as absolute fact without any evidence at all. It wasn't a medical site, or even a news site, it was just a blog with some random stuff on it.
This is becoming more and more common. It's just amazing how people read something on social media, accept it as fact, and then re-post it without verifying it.Herschel Savage

You seem to have no idea what this was about. This incident was real and so was the arrest, but you missed what really happened.
The pizza place is part of "pizzagate" which was some silly conspiracy theory related to the hacked Podesta emails, and nut jobs think they weren't discussing ordering pizza in the emails but instead are were involved in some pedo S&M thing. The gun man went to the pizza place to investigate.
In short, we have a nut case who went to a pizza place to investigate a crime that never happened.

Fake news is indeed a problem.
For 18 months the world media stated that Trump had no chance in hell of winning. This created a false sense of security for Democrats and Clinton supporters, leading to a highly controversial and possibly contested final presidential election.

You know what's funny? Neo nazis aren't a serious factor anywhere in the western world anymore. I have never seen any neo nazis in my whole life. I never hear about neo nazis beating up black people in groups and burning down neighborhoods. Where's the threat?
Yet when we look at the other side, left extremism is growing like a wild fire. Violent extremists beating up people, screaming, protecting economic migrants who mass sexually assault in Köln...Comment

And btw, any of you doubters, have you actually gone to wikileaks.org and read through some of the emails where they're obviously using "pizza" and other strange food-oriented talk as a cover for something else?
And then have you looked into the Podesta brothers and their sick obsession with little children? This is some of the "art" in their house:

how can a fact have a bias? Either somebody said something - or not. It's not their fault that the most untrue statements come from the right wing spectrum.
you really think that a Neo Nazi looks like a skinhead with a baseball bat, right?

I think that racism, cultural nazism on all sides - including muslim one- is one of the biggest problems that people will face soon...either we will wise up or let the others get rich on our suffering and blind hate..

Why for no reason? I can not speak for him but I see plenty of reasons by him - for example he is anti establishment, anti leftist plague etc etc. US having this president would slow down this plague worldwide.
Again, he will correct me if I am wrong stating this as one of the reasons he is a trump supporter.
You, saying that he is a fan for no reason, are wrong.Comment

welcome to the age of post-truth (which is a nice, mild, cool-sounding and marketable name for 'dangerous bullshit') where facts don't apply any more and being aggressive & impulsive based on momentary emotional triggers is the norm to follow
and yes, this applies to both sides of the political palette.David // Xcams & Xmodels

"Fake news story"
More like "news story about chains of convicted pedophiles connected to politicians and politics and their underage sex rings that's being ignored by the liberal media to protect liberal politicians"
Spend an hour reading this and clicking links and you'll want to storm in there with a gun as well.... I mean, you know.... unless you think the organized sexual abuse of children is ok. Then you'll just call it "fake news" and move on.
This discussion and the links it leads to is some of the darkest shit I've ever read online .... and it's not like it's a massive conspiracy built around a couple sketchy facts. It's 1000's of sketchy facts and actual admissions and disucssions of abducting and screwing kids.... but hey, it's best to put politics first.
It starts like normal conspiracy shit and then more and more is dug up and it starts to get incredibly dark and troubling

And yeah, imagine that. A guy follows police commands and doesn't get shot. Someone needs to notify the hood of this new thing called "do exactly as instructed by the officer".

He's also reminded us on occasion not to make jokes about WWII because Germans get offended when you bring up the Nazis failed attempt to extinguish a race of people and rule the planet. But he gets to call Americans Nazis cause apparently that's also part of his broad and holier than thou and quite flexible moral code..

It's a fucking buzzword.
I don't doubt that there is fake news, but the purpose of the buzzword is to discredit alternative media by associating it with "fake news".
The MSM's credibility is at an all-time low, yet they can just push this buzzword post-election and people will buy into it. Sad.Comment
