This is why we need Steemit: Fake "News Site" Exposed & Immediately Taken Down

in #news7 years ago


This is just the worst

A "news" website called the California Republican that churned out #ReleaseTheMemo drivel and other right-wing nonsense was being run by the campaign of Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA)

Thoughts on this?

This is why running your news site on the blockchain can be so great. It can never be taken down. Obviously this wouldn't be an advantage to the fake news people though.

@davidpakman - Do you think there's any basic defense of a foreign power (*cough* Russia *cough*) here at Steemit with respect fake news, like what happened in the 2016 elections? Or do you think we're just as vulnerable now as we were then - or maybe even moreso that upclicks of fake news will actually be generating money for additional propaganda?

Our only saving grace right now is the fact that these guys are a bunch of total idiots. If there was someone even halfway competent in power, we would be doomed.

Frankly, I'm a bit worried!

I share your concern and am also worried that there is no effective defense

The Californian Republican tweeting “this is what a hero looks like Devin Nunes” reminds me of John Miller calling into shows and telling them of Donald Trump’s greatness and how all of the world’s most beautiful women wanted him bigly.

Thanks for the great work David and Patrick, and it’s good to see you here on Steemit.

The exact same thing occurred to me, I was also reminded of "John Miller."

This Russian collusion is such fake news nonsense, completely forged to prevent Trump and later to take him out. SO OBVIOUS and even if you aren't paying attention to the fake news it is still somehow more obvious . How anyone is fooled by this stuff is beyond me, talk about drivel...DELUSIONAL... Oh yeah, John Podesta is a pedophile, Bill Clinton's a rapist and Hillary is a spirit cooker satanist, lawyer for pedophiles. Namaste <3

hahah, well said

@davidpakman, Didn't mean to be so rude.. But for example I just put up a post NSFW with an audio file of John Podesta torturing a child and forcing the child to call him "Skippy". I encourage yourself and anyone with the gall to check it out. Here's a link to my SFW edit of the post: https://steemit.com/christian/@newtreehints/pizzagate-has-helped-me-become-a-christian-sfw-edit

Until we can overturn Citizen's United, this fake news cancer will continue to metastize .. and in fact the patient, ie democracy, will probably die from athousand cuts before we manage to do that. They sold us all out to Trump just to get Gorsuch .. he was the main prize and they did it. And Gorsuch will never reverse Citizen's United. Send him a letter and ask him what he thinks .. I dont think you will get a reply, well maybe a form letter ...

You are right. thanks.Sir, please vote my post

Devin Nunes is a disgrace to Congress. Hopefully people will be smart enough to vote him out in 2020.

Hello Hello indeed, the interesting news are upvoted, good writing is appreaciated... maybe you will find this interesting...my first video here

This is what I call good news

This is just another cog in the broken machine we call the American political system. We need to get corrupt corpreateists out of office and elect left libertarians.

I didn't know there were left libertarians. I'm intrigued.

I always follow your post, nice

How sneaky they pretended to be completely non-partisan and then promoted Republican talking points, they should have shown their bias in their name or something.

you create a great news.....i know some new from your post.... i waiting for your next post....i wish for your best of luck brother

Devin nunes should be punished...what he did is not accecptable

Sadly there are too many hatriots who think what he did should be rewarded.

the more you read into nunes, the more you wonder how the hell...

Are you saying that this fake was expired by Steemians or that we'll have better standard of reporting and truth on Steem? Sadly in many areas complete bullshit is still been widely rewarded on Steemit, I see it all the time with fake Alex Jones style "science", fake remedies, consist theories etc. Maybe not so much on the political spectrum yet - but that's mostly because many of the shallow state have not yet discovered us and thankfully our whales don't seem to be that pro Trump or pro anything except libertarian agendas. There are exceptions of course but that may change - a right wing lies and fake news org could easily drop a few million into Steemit and make a nouveau whale to promote the crap out of crap...

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I am proud of him = America needs more like him

This is just the worst.... but more so...

Transparency, and all that...
