92% of Republicans, 70% of all voters, think media intentionally reports fake news

[guido61]

Goebbels would be proud.

[Tom Hicks]

Muh Trumpublicans actively trying to tear down American culture like media, justice department, FBI dis the military, cozy up to tyrants, complain about our allies Etc.

the current iteration of the Republican party is seriously ill.

no wonder the approval numbers for Trump and Congressional Republicans are underwater.

[BA.Barcolounger]

The poll intentionally did not ask which media reported fake news.

Right wingers think the mainstream media lies.

Everyone else thinks Fox news lies.

Hence, the results of this poll.

Ding ding ding ding!

The poll says more about our opinions of each other than the extent of fabrication or bias in news sources.

[Tom Hicks]

Lol he's scrambling now. Squirming dancing Etc.

[Tom Hicks]

a very introspective comment I did NOT expect from you.
👍

[Yakburger]

I thought you were going to hold back on this stuff until tomorrow?

[guido61]

Only when Trump started attacking little kids’ belief in Santa Claus on Christmas.

[Tom Hicks]

Sure

You jumped on this and the wall thread so fast I was just laughing at how someone could be so triggered. LOL

Things aren't going well for you guys.

you have a very defensive reaction to valid criticisms of your extremist ideas.

[The Badger]

Well, Tom, you are threatening his very existence.
Without his hubris and hot air, he's nothing.

[BA.Barcolounger]

TBH, I don't care what liberals think of Fake News.

Then I will not bother providing you with the link you requested - you wouldn't read it anyway.

[guido61]

You sound mad.

Fake News is dying.

No one on the right even looks at it anymore.

There goes the left's only weapon.

normal people don’t care what the right looks at.

What do you all look at? Breitbart? Memes you share with each other?

[Tom Hicks]

Contrary to extremist thought, memes are not an effective weapon against the media.

for example when the Trump Foundation was recently busted, right wing memes proved entirely ineffective in preventing the grifter organization owned by the Trump family from being shut down

[guido61]

The right doesn't care what the right looks at?


What will you do when Fake News goes under?

Make your own charts with Paint Shop?

Use lots of pretty colours.

“Goes under”? Lol

the crap you believe that the right wing has fed you is astounding.

[Tom Hicks]

I think that people who make ridiculous unsupported claims often have a posterior motive.

[BadDaddy]

TBH, I don't care what liberals think of Fake News.

The point is to render it impotent to influence conservatives and moderates.

It's already dead to conservatives, so the poll I would really like to see is what self proclaimed moderates think of it.

Regardless, it's losing it relevancy and power every day.

And, it is truly the only weapon the left has had in the last 50 years.

That, and open borders.

Which is over.

How ironic that you claim the MSM spreads fake news when you have decided to admire, support, and trust Trump, who's a narcissist pathological lying sociopath that told over 6400 lies or misleading statements in his first 17 months in office. Go you.

[moogerfooger]

people are stupid. who knew?

[Zig al-din]

They actually "think" this or are they being made to think this by pundits and political leaders and the fact that the country seems to be in hyper-partisan confirmation bias mode at all times nowadays?

[BadDaddy]

Quite the opposite. People are wising up.

You're correct, as people are abandoning Trump in droves, especially those who were close to him, or believed his lies. You'll note that as the Mueller investigation continues, that Trump is acting more erratically. The "wall", Hillary, Syria, Afghanistan, all his attempts to make people "look over there", but it won't work.
