Fake news agenda journalism, either work for me. Because rarely is there a distinction that I can see.

Journalism? What Journalism!.... the current state of journalism for investigating and conveying real news about real people is useless propaganda.

The work of propaganda is to condition people to get with their program.....Elites conscript journalists, and journalists can’t resist the bait.. power-mongers control all the outlets of communication particularly the media, Hollywood, and academia.

We learned that John Podesta confirmed that the media lavished all kinds of special favors on the Clinton campaign and Donna Brazile fed interview questions in advance to Clinton’s campaign.....Undercover Project Veritas interviews exposed how Clinton operative Robert Creamer bragged about inciting violence at Trump rallies, operations that had the apparent consent of the Clinton campaign....the list could go on and on and on. NONE of this was ‘investigated’ by the media.

So wherever power elites regulate the flow of information, you’re ONLY going to get propaganda instead of hard news.... that gets re-hashed and re-cycled ad nauseam..... Journalists as their messengers.

I don't think I like the premise here. If the NYT runs a story about illegal immigrants bringing disease into the country and spreading TB and measles and what not -- and then concluding that full amnesty and generous healthcare packages are just "common sense" -- I recognize this as "agenda-driven" and I also think that most of this is factually correct. Although I don't like agenda-driven journalism, it's an old, old tradition and I don't think it's going away.

Fake News is different.

Donald Trump is a racist.
Donald Trump is a Nazi.
Donald Trump doesn't care about children living in poverty.
Donald Trump is a sex offender.
Kavanaugh is a rapist.

These things are also "agenda-driven" but these happen to also be factually incorrect. This is Fake News.

Fake News is disgusting and, frankly, I think it should be illegal. The First Amendment should not allow national monopolistic media empires to willfully lie to the public as part of a political activist campaign.

Fake News is a useful term.

Comcast and Disney are big players in the corrupt MSM agenda.

These companies should not be patronized.
