O/T - Fake News

Post by Imploding Turtle » Fri Jun 07, 2019 4:10 pm

Trump held up the D-Day ceremony so that he could give Fox News an interview. Fox News saw that other news outlets were reporting that Trump held up the D-Day ceremony so that he could give Fox and interview and called it fake news. Except Trump said in the interview that he was holding up the D-Day ceremony to give the interview.

Here it is on video. https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/sta ... 4300889088" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I made this new thread so that people can complain that i'm making a new thread about Trump (except it's not about Trump, it's about fake news - i wonder why they'll confuse the two), and also because i didn't want to post it in an existing thread where the same people would whine that i'm either making the thread about me, or dragging it off topic. Basically they're going to whine either way, but at least this way i get my username on the front page for longer because really this is all about me. But also it's about "Fake News", but mostly me.

Just because you now choose to laugh about it doesn't make it less annoying or sad

Unfortunately there has been so much bullish!t flying around these days it’s his get out of jail free card... a card he plays so liberally it has gone past being a laughing matter.

He’s a businessman not a politician.... which is why he has mostly got away with it.

Unfortunately the constant sniping only adds to his armour, and his credit with his fans.

Yep. Calling him out on his lies only strengthens his support among his bootlicking sycophants. I trust you're not suggesting that that's our fault.

I don’t do “us” and “them” I just plod on trying to find “my truth”

(Edit) I’d still happily share a pint with the vast majority on this board. Yourself and my other sparring partner Lancaster included.

One of the few best guesses are that they once were part of the same ‘event’ and so technically they are one and the same.

Life is not straight forward

By that logic then the Earth is a part of Mars too since they both formed from the same collection of asteroids and what not. But that's not what President Stable Genius was talking about.

So is Fox News lying?

Is Trump lying?

Is Fox News lying to cover Trump lying?

Was Trump lying and Fox News decided they would also lie to cover Trumps lie which made them look like they are now lying?
