The mainstream media was bleeding from the eyes over fake news when they were pretending it was the iceberg that sank the Hillary Clinton campaign.

The Mainstream Media’s Fake News Paradox
Press hungry to discredit Trump and conservative outlets gets caught publishing bogus attacks

by Eddie Zipperer | Updated 06 Feb 2017 at 9:53 AM

If anti-Trump fake news were a dumpster, the mainstream media would be the flies buzzing around it, and generally delighting in feeding off its trashy goodness. Mainstream media types seem to be operating on the premise that ruining President Trump is more important than facts. First it was Buzzfeed. Then it was TIME magazine. Then, it was The Daily Beast. This week, it’s CNN, CBS, and Yahoo (oh, and TIME and Buzzfeed again).

A man named Mike Hager claimed his mother died in Iraq after Trump’s executive order temporarily halted refugees from entering the U.S. from seven war-torn nations. He had a picture to boot! Rather than taking the time to vet this story, media organizations decided to operate under a why-would-anyone-lie-about-anything paradigm and run with it. Oops. Hager’s mother actually died several days before the executive order was issued.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
