    Well you certainly can't trust left leaning Jews. Of course the reason you can't trust them has absolutely nothing to do with them being Jewish. Same goes for left leaning people of every race and religion.

    Yes, the guy in the video nailed it. There is a ton of fake news out there but most of it is put out by the mainstream media who try to push an agenda rather than simply reporting. To top it off they barely mention any real news if it hurts the left. That is not to say that 100% of the things coming from alternative right wing media is accurate but the mainstream medias attempt to lump all right wing news as fake news is just a really pathetic attempt to manipulate low information people even further.

    You will be shown the truth when that left leaning, curly haired Jew named Jesus shows up to judge you. o_O

    Because the news I read is very critical of Obama and Clinton and many other people on the "left". The stuff you guys post - I actually do click on it and then do some digging and find out it's absolute b.s. 70% of the time.

    You guys don't actually care about the truth, you care about spewing anger at the left you hate so much. You are pathetic souls who are not patriots but rather people who want to live in a bubble of ignorance. for god's sake grow a spine and learn to question what you think for once in your life.

    Like what?! What's the BS?! You're calling me out but you're the one not posting arguments and facts. What articles in that video is wrong?

    70% is a pretty generous estimate. On the Left/Right issue, the criticism from the Left of the current administration, for example, is more logical, well thought out, and data driven than the criticism from the Right, which usually verges (purposefully) on complete fiction.

    I think if I owned or ran twitter I wouldn't want to be an outlet for white supremacy. OTOH I'd rather see social media shine a light on these despicable numb nuts and expose their distortions.

    there's a direct relationship between the obscurity of white supremacists and the amount of attention media gives them

    Do you deny that Trump had a nationalist and xenophobic slant to his campaign?

    Lol Jeremiah Wright.

    It's not why Trump won but it was certainly a factor, much more so than the black panthers and Jeremiah Wright for obama.

    I just finished a book about George Washington. Very good if anyone wants to read it's His Excellency George Washington by Joseph Ellis. Anyhow the amount of fake news back then was pretty amazing. He dealt with a ton of slander from Thomas Jefferson and news outlets associated with his politics. He actually had to deal with a fake news story that he was actually bribed by the British during the Revolutionary War and that he was actually a British spy like Benedict Arnold. There were even forged documents that showed he was bribed during the smear campaign after he agreed to the Jay Treaty.

    Point being...this fake news **** has been around forever. It isn't new.
