Oh but we had to vote for Trump because Gary Johnson would clearly have messed up foreign policy in Syria...

I'm still bitter.

I have to say, Trump is really giving the Internet a lot to work with.

I am so very grateful for the internet. We have reached a kind of postmodern democratic zenith wherein an informed and empowered electorate renders a functioning congress and legacy media completely useless.

 

[Dennisch]

a functioning congress and legacy media completely useless.

I'm not so sure you can give that credit to the internet. The internet is more an accelerant for self-inflicted damage.

 

[Dotini]

...self-inflicted damage.

Can you show us an image of the new Dutch suicide machine?

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it american congress or intelligence agencies that lied and the news just reported on it based on the information they could get their hands on?

That's not to say the news didn't have a small part in actually reporting this without 'proper' evidence.

You can still find it funny but from that perspective I don't find a funny I find it to be a false equivelancy. Actual fake news makes claims they can't back up, those claims serve the ideological purpose of said newssource. They often use tactics that give plausible deniability while they very much know what idea they really are spreading.
Real news made the mistake of trusting the politicians, they didn't do this to push an ideological agenda but for financial gains (the this story is juicy get it out asap mentality).

So putting them on the same level just is so absurd to me that I seem to mis the joke. The mainstreammedia doesn't fabricate the lies they are gamed by people to report lies, actual fake news makes up the lies (or uses tactics to make people believe lies they didn't explicitly say)

Wity one exeption that I know of... FOX-news (when they use hannity or in the past o'reilly, I and they know they are just infotainers but they are put into studios that makes them lok like journalists for a reason)

Hey, it's all just guys in the locker room, amiright?

I like how there are people who cannot process the fact that Kanye, as a black man, speaks positive about Trump.

I like how people suddenly take this latest publicity stunt in a long line of publicity stunts from a publicity mad rapper at face value just because it's about Trump. Black or white... the only colour which matters to Kanye is green.

And kanye, because you just know that, as a "designer," he's named a color after himself.
