When no news is fake news
Of course the term fake news began as a description of the news stories that were created by Balkan computer geeks for the purpose of generating hits (and therefore revenue) on websites. Trump has tried to co-opt the term for virtually any unfavorable coverage of him or his administration.
American Media International knew about and buried the Stormy Daniels story this fall. Now we found out that a reporter at Fox had the story as well, but Fox buried it. So they deliberately buried information that was germaine to voters in the election.
The reporter at Fox is appealing to Rupert Murdoch to lift her NDA with respect to the incident.

Re: When no news is fake news
how was that story "germaine"?
and by what law does Fox or MSNBC have to report every story they write?

Re: When no news is fake news
Notice you haven't been quick to stay on the watchtower:
"Reuters reported late on Friday night that their reporter who broke the story about Democrat Beto O'Rourke belonging to a hacker group had the story for two years and agreed to sit on it until after O'Rourke's Senate race against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)."
Knowing how vigilant, and non-partisan, you are on this subject....ya know, in the name of equal justice amiright?

Why are you incoherently rambling about other folks in a thread about a major news organization actively killing a story about Trump’s extramarital dalliance with a porn star?

You probably shouldn’t pen lines like, “so incoherence site on your lap”, given how incoherent that sounds.
But I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with some other dissimilar and weak diversion to the situation of a major news organization actively killing a story about Trump’s extramarital dalliance with a porn star. And maybe accompany it with a fresh new mangled example of the language, to boot.

Connoisseurs of the unique delights of this board can only hope that you are right.

Re: When no news is fake news
Yes, incoherence is best for those minds who insist that - "So they deliberately buried information that was germaine to voters in the election."
is a statement that applies only to Trump/Stormy/Fox and not Beto/Hacker/Reuters.
but you be you Canpakes - just keep on keeping your eye on that mote!

Bitch about motes all that you want, but you voted for the fellow who has repeatedly trashed one of your supposedly highest moral principles, and you’ll do it again.
Adultury with a porn star must be the new standard of admirable behavior for the morality crowd. Cool.
