There are at least 3 active threads on City-Data about Fake News.

Whether it's to promote or disprove something, I guess it's effective to keep repeating it over and over again. Apparently it worked to get a lying maniac elected.

So you agree that it's OK for ABC to fake the new with fake props?

That's OK. You are entitled to your pathetic opinion.

If you keep repeating that over and over again you will convince yourself that you are correct.

Nah, but I wish it were true. I repeat over and over again when I go to sleep that Trump can't possibly be the POTUS, but then I wake up and

Maybe it would work if I said it in Russian.

Well you did tell us for 1.5 years that he couldn't possibly win and then you were wrong. My recommendation, stop getting your news from ABC and the other MSM. They clearly stated that Trump would not win.

So what you mean to say is that the shot was fake, not that the news itself was fake.

And even that might not be true, as far as you know, the Sheriff did put that tape up.

Maybe they thought the backdrop was bland. TV audiences like a pleasing backdrop. That's TV 101.

Unless the actual news story had this reporter gesturing to the tape and saying a Sheriff put it there and the Sheriff did not, I'm not seeing the leap to assumption that "all mainstream news is fake and this is proof."
