RE: Who is really the author of #Fakenews, and why do they want to control it

in #fakenews8 years ago

First you said that

"98% of the population could see them for what they were".

I said it was contrary to the sentiment that "they have been duped", to which you said:

People trust the media for the most part, but they can tell the difference between fake news articles and real.

People trust the media (for the most part), but the media lies to them and people can tell the difference.

Is that not the same exact discourse that you had so far?

Then you said that they got duped and signed away their freedoms by supporting the government. Because of fake news that didn't even help.

.. They have convinced a large part of the population that this is a good idea.... AND blamed it all on the Russians, but that's propaganda that is still waiting to be played out.

But while people could tell the article they just shared on Facebook wasn't real, when they heard the CIA talking heads in the media, the whitehouse, etc. saying the Russians are behind this wave of Fake news, trying to steal the election, they fell for that hook, line and sinker, giving public support to the removal of first amendment rights

So in the end, when you said that 98%.. thing you didn't really mean it like "98% of the population could see that the MSM was directing a narrative of "fake news", to make people give their freedoms away", you meant like "98% of the population COULDN'T see them for what they were" because why would you be swayed by someone you don't trust, if you could see the MSM for what they were, what on god's green earth would make you consider anything they say as "fake" or "real", let alone trust them, and at that trust them with delivering news (? based on the fact that you could actually see when and what is a lie and what isn't)
That's what I meant by isn't it insane in saying "people trust the media to lie to them, and not to lie to them".
