"Most 98% of the population could see them for what they were. "
That attitude is contrary to these other you expressed right after. Can they be perceived as fake by the vast majority, and then go around and control what the people consider the truth?
"Now those pushing the buttons didn't care if she won or lost, all that mattered was being able to control what We The People considered the truth."
"They have shown how serious they are about this, using a lame duck president to trample on the constitution and taking steps to remove the freedom to produce anything but state party news.. And even better, 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."
And your sentiment is that this contral they haz is very matter much . . .
I would say a very large number (I used a arbitrary percentage for impact) of the population , has been able to tell fake articles from any real news, it was never a big an issue as "THEY" made it seem to be.
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
Uh... People trust the media for the most part, but they can tell the difference between fake news articles and real... Two different things... I didn't invalidate anything... And I didn't build the Us vs them... It's been around long before my time... That's why the Government has had to blow up our own ships to convince Us to go to war.. Been this way forever
Many people care. Everyone should care.. Any true American should care... The first Amendment just got wiped out basiclly..
And I have no idea what you mean "people trust the media to lie to them, and not to lie to them"
People think what the MSM tells them is true, CIA controls MSM for that very reason, when the MSM told people these "fake news articles" they were seeing on FB were a problem, people thought it was true... They were told they came from the Russian, they also think this is true... And yet the "fake news articles" did nothing to change anything... Only MSM's big production of it
He was saying that 98% of the people could tell the "alt news" disinfo mills they set up were fake but that they still primarily trusted the MSM. That way, when the MSM sources used all the disinfo the same forces that are behind them had spread to establish the "fake news" narrative they believed it was Russia or whatever and helped discredit actual alternative media.
