This is based on their biased censoring statistics. They censor conservatives or anyone or any thought that is not socialist. This is like the Chi-Coms weighing in on “fake news.”

Fake news on fake news. Why do they even bother?

Look up the details of Mao’s cultural revolution for your answer.

What Trump supporters share among themselves is one thing.
The MSM reporting it as gospel truth is a totally different problem.

Garbage article (I’m not criticizing the poster) of a garbage study.

Last week, The Huffington Post, no friend of real news, posted an article

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-supporters-read-share-fake-news_us_5a7a25f9e4b06505b4e8f07d?ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000067

that actually links to the methodology and websites in the study.

http://comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/93/2018/02/Polarization-Partisanship-JunkNews-OnlineSupplement.pdf

The Drudge Report is on the list of “junk news sources”. “And...?”, you say? And nothing, of course. Done. The “study” is busted.

But let’s put that aside.

I see that breitbart.com is on the list. And what is the typical example of “fake news” shared from breitbart.news, the article that most perfectly proves the thesis, the article whose title at a glance shuts up all naysayers? It’s this article from November 6, 2016: “Nate Silver: Hillary Is ‘One State Away’ From Losing the Electoral College”

And here’s newsbusters.com too. “Nets Ignore Massive Bombshell on FBI Investigation Into Clinton Corruption” Yep, a tally of how many minutes each TV network spent on a story is the most clear and obvious example of something that should convince you that they’re a “junk news site”.

Cue the Price is Right Tubas.

We discuss the fake aspects of all the fake news that we’re being fed - the libs that read the crap just believe it w/o giving it a second thought.
