Deliberately Fake News

 



At The Liberty Daily, J D Rucker calls out the LA Times:

In a story titled, Here’s one factor that might peel Trump’s diehard supporters away, [the LA Times] tested out fake news stories purportedly published by either leftist Politico or right-leaning Breitbart. The stories about Trump were manufactured to see how Trump supporters would react to reading propaganda that painted him in a negative light. [emphases added]

The LA Times is making it up and then shouting about it!  Mr Rucker liberally quotes the Times report and then comments:

Corporate media is very aware that despite the lack of trust Americans have in them, the people can still be swayed if they can get their anti-Trump propaganda in front of them. Perhaps the most important takeaway from this is that smaller corporate media outlets like Politico and Breitbart apparently have more credibility than legacy media. This makes sense, considering these sources are less concerned about pretending to be unbiased. Breitbart readers know the outlet leans right and Politico readers know the outlet leans left.

The powers-that-be will use whatever advantage they can find to manipulate people into doing what they want. This is why controlling the media has always been an important play for them. It’s also why more Americans need to wake up to the reality that if they want the truth, their best sources are going to be alternative, non-corporate media sites such as this one.

The full report is here.  So many liberals do not seem to be able to separate fact from fiction – or if what they are reading or seeing actually IS fiction.  Maybe this report would help.
