The Rise Of Fake News
 

This is not a partisan piece, it is just a clip about the rise of fake news stories...

It's difficult to get the best source of information.

Although done as a joke sites like The Onion and The Daily Mash always seem to report the news in a more honest way.

This is exactly why I stooped watching the news, what wasn't depressing was misleading as hell and caused even more depressing shit..... so I don't even look at the news at all anymore. If it hits me in the face, I'll deal with it then. lol

Pretty much all news is fake news at this point.

In order to make money, newspapers need to sell newspapers and new channels need to get and retain their viewership. Thus, the more interesting the story, the more people are going to check it out. This is why you don't hear stories about fluffy bunnies or Marines building schools in Iraq. The public wants gore and violence.

Yeah, I have to agree with Rick on this one. News is kind of one of those things, you have to either read/hear about from a few different sources in order to form a calculated opinion.

the AP website however is a pretty unbiased source of news, considering it is reporters from all around the world, with no agenda per se. linkage below... it's worth a bookmark:

I think it's a government plot to desensitize the American people so that we won't believe anything that's told us, then obamanation will look good no matter what truths are told
