With all of this 'fake news' from the mainstream 'fake' news media, I figured it would be helpful to compile a list of all of these 'fake news' stories from the mainstream media... I mean surely this is a "huuuge" problem, after all our supreme overlord Trump says it- so it must be fact. Please cite your sources when challenging 'fake news' from the mainstream media, and please do not cite *actual* fake news sites. |

Fake news story http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/02/18/nasa-aborts-spacex-rocket-launch-after-last-minute-technical-trouble.html Miss leading headline for sure but, the first sentence of article explains what happened. SpaceX scrubbed a rocket launch Saturday from NASA’s historic moon pad in Florida just 13 seconds from liftoff. Great click bait or, is this click bait of the click bait? ... |

"Don't believe the main stream (fake news) media..." But we're supposed to listen to Trump, the man who says 'Look What's Happening In Sweden.'?? ...WTH? -"Swedes, in turn, answered Trump's question with a question of their own: "Wait — what?"" I know where I see most fake news coming from, and it's certainly not the mainstream media... <cough>trump<cough> #resist |

Real problem is this: Why do you believe that global capitalists and the news media are responsible for protecting the "American People"? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Real problem is this: The media does have the responsibility of keeping us informed, which in itself is a form of protection. And despite all the bogus complaints, one complaint is certainly valid: most mainstream media is under the control of six huge companies. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Real problem is this: So go and read Reuters and AP. |

Real problem is this: How has mainstream media failed to keep its consumers informed? While there may be fluff from any source, there's also real news there too (including that produced by the six). Couldn't the failure to be informed be more a result of the horse's refusal to drink despite being led to water? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Could be that the horse knows that much of the water has been poisoned. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

FAUX does spread poison far and wide, but if you drink upstream you still have clean water, until the EPA is removed. |

Well being a "foreigner" and having watched and listened for the last few weeks. I can say I would trust the BBC before believing one word of what Donald Trump says. |

Well being a "foreigner" and having watched and listened for the last few weeks. "Points of View" as one might have gathered from the title, is a program allowing people to express their opinions. Therefore not a news program, even if the episode is about a news incident that week. "Opinion is not Fact" Which is where Trump failed yesterday. He watched a program where Ami Horowitz made numerous false assertions about Sweden (not for the first time), which Trump tried to say was an actual incident on Friday. |

So, he was in error. What president has not been? Or what human being for that matter. Get over it. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Oh Trump of Earth and altar, bow down and hear our cry. Our Earthly rulers falter. Our people drift and die. Tump's gilded walls entomb us, the swords of scorn divide; Take not thy thunder from us, but take away Trump's pride. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Are you not worried that your President is now the laughing stock of Sweden and other countries. And on his favourite broadcast platform Twitter #lastnightinsweden |

I think that is exactly the crux of the matter. Just because he does not come from a long line of political greed and corruption, many consider his perceived transgressions worse that if it were to come from a Clinton, for example. He IS an outsider. And this is why he is getting so much friction. And this is also why he won the election. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

His 'mistakes' don't really resonate. See my last. |

So, he was in error. What president has not been? Rump has already made more "errors" than all 44 men who came before him. |

Are you not worried that your President is now the laughing stock of Sweden and other countries. Because the US needs the rest of the civilised world and vice versa. The Rest of the World at the moment, is at best, unsure of what he and the US are heading. He insults countries and their people, he doesn't 'read' the news or believe the intelligence reports he is given, and would rather take opinion on cable TV as fact. And he seems to believe Putin walks on water. |
