If lunatic fringe sites like The Gateway Pundit tell you the sky is blue, you'd best double-check because it's probably cloudy that day.
Care to place a wager on it?

By now the problem should be obvious - you can clear tracks of trouble-making protesters, and yet people still trust fake news sites because "they are right now and then."
Is that your way of saying, "Oh, I'm sorry. I was wrong in this instance. Next time I'll check."

Liberal fascists disrupting a liberal city, just another day in paradise. Of course other liberals don't believe it's actually happening, no matter how often it does.

So wait, the violent, communist BLM, and Antifa are protesting the players that supported them by kneeling, and raising their fists in protest of false social injustice by police, and society. Oh, the irony. Morons.

You miss the point entirely.

The fact that people consider lunatic fringe conspiracy websites a valid source of news is the problem here. The protesters are quickly dealt with, while the nation's ignorance continues.

Any idiot running one of those websites can steal a news report from a valid source of information, post it on their own, and then claim, "Oh, we're a real news site because we post the truth now and then!"

I'm damn tired of dealing with gullible people who believe everything they read online or see on TV, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM uses that same excuse "well, such and such website posted the truth about this one thing that happened, so they must be right."

I've heard it all from insane conspiracy theories about "liberals" to utter lunacy like secret Nazi ICBM bases in Antarctica, "magic used to be real," and "aliens visited earth many times in the past." And when you call them out on it, they always cite some random instance where the fake news source in question happened to post the truth on something.

People should be smart enough to know by now that the way tabloids stay in business is by posting the truth now and then... and yet people still don't get it, as the trust in that insane website illustrates.

No, they're protesting people who are supporting the players by going to the game.

Still ironic.

Still morons.

I was not wrong about the quality of the news source, and next time I'll check with an ACTUAL news source.

But, hey - believe whatever ignorance and bigotry spewing right-wing lunatic website you want to follow. After all, they post half-truths now and then...

Oh, and still no evidence of Antiafa there, by the way. Idiocy.

This accusation that I "believe whatever ignorance and bigotry spewing right-wing lunatic website you want to follow" is bull and you know it. First of all, I'm a DEMOCRAT. I don't know how many times I've posted that. And I IMMEDIATELY double check online to see if there is anything to the story. Same as I do with the left-wing lunatic websites. I don't trust American news, legit or not but put more credence in legit sources when it comes to local news.

No evidence Antifa wsn't there, but we'll see. Idiocy is continuing to discount something when you've already been proven wrong once.
