Sid Miller is a ****ing moron and an embarrassment to the great State of Texas. And to the point of the thread: if you get your "news" from facebook/twitter/etc you are also a ****ing moron.
But if you get your fake "news" from NYT/WP/Huffpo/MSNBC/CNN, you are somehow not a moron? How does that supposedly work?
The ones here doubling down on MSM participating and being complicit in the "fake news" phenomenon that has proliferated the internet and social media, are the same ones who are duped by the actual fake news stories and conspiracy theories proliferating the Internet and social media. then they shout that it's an attempt at censorship Hook, line, sinker
Facebook is introducing a new tool that allows readers to rank the use of "misleading language" in the titles of linked articles posted on the site. It is not clear how or even if they intend to respond to these rankings. But they do know from past experience that most people who rank linked articles and websites do so without actually clicking on the link and do so based on the title alone. This article is from the left-leaning UK Guardian and should be read with an awareness of that in mind. Probably the most reasonable and unintrusive thing that Facebook or Twitter can do while not doing nothing is to provide information to readers that will let them know there is some degree of controversy around certain articles. At the end of the day, what people believe is not going to be able to be controlled or dictated by our government or the media.
This is the liar's credo. Tell a lie and hey, at the end of the day, people believe what they want: you can't force them.
This liberal decided, "if you can't beat them, join them" He started as an infiltrator, now he makes cash feeding conservatives what they crave his shtick doesn't work on other liberals though (they don't take the bait)
Actual happening, Trump tweets Air Force One runoff with Boeing for $4B Fake news media wrongly suggest $170M.
I guess my news sources (Forbes, the WSJ, NYTimes, etc etc) all said Trump was saying it was $4 billion - I wonder what the fake news site Dei looked at where it was $170MM. In any case, Trump might want to check with people before he cancels it. There might be a reason it costs so much after all. Also, it probably means he doesn't own any stock in Boeing. Maybe Boeing should threaten to move jobs to Mexico and Trump won't cancel the order. Also we've seen that fake news leads to violence so there is a legitimate reason not to allow it to be posted by media companies. Beyond the fact that it's fake.
Don't worry, Trump plan on increasing the military budget & procurement ( i find it mind boggling why we need to increase military spending, we already have by far the largest military budget in the world and when compared to most nations, China included) we are spending a much hihger % of GDP on the military). Boeing will end up getting some juicy new bloated defense contract that'll end up delayed by several years & end up costing 3 times as originally "planned". It's quite amazing how new defense contracts consistently end up being massively delayed & overbudget.
This is going on my list of things you can't make up. I will need a near infinite supply of popcorn for the next 4-8 years.
Ha! Before fake news became prevalent, I used the D&D here as confirmation. If it was outlandish and nobody posted a thread on it 2 seconds after it happened, I expected it to be fake news. I think what a lot of the fake news facebook sites are doing is creating a huge list of ignorant followers and then sell the page to advertisers.
It works because only an incredible moron places the vast majority of work done at the New York Times with the horse crap conservative "news" that is shuffled around on Facebook, Twitter, talk radio, and the horde of websites that are so popular with Trump voters.

$4 billion is the relatively correct figure for the whole program, it had already been reported at $3.2 billion by the GAO in March 2016 and that was only for funding until 2020. http://www.gao.gov/assets/680/676281.pdf Page 158 The $170 million was a misleading response by Boeing: http://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...170-million-contract-to-work-on-air-force-one
This series of three actual Time Magazine covers, covers it: Yet again, you really cannot make this stuff up. Except that Time Magazine actually did.
