for me that was Orem Jr. High. Let me tell you, those were some rough years my friend.

It is very convenient for Trump supporters to now call everything fake news to diminish the seriousness of the real issue of actual fake news, which is as I describe a few posts up.

Fake news is completely fabricated and intended to mislead. There is a ton of it out there and people are still consuming it and believing it. It is a real problem. Calling CNN fake news is a way to ignore the problem and obscure the issue so that the actual fake news continues to thrive.

This is clearly the agenda of many.

Call everything fake, made up, hoax, and a conspiracy. They want you to not believe anything so they can fill the void with their BS.

Well we had quite a bit of school work, but you bring up a good point. Those days were awesome, and looking back "easy" compared to today.
Tell that to any teenager though.

No, sorry but you dont get to just pick and choose what is and isn't fake news. Fake news is when the story is not real. This isnt difficult to understand. By definition, this MLK bust news story was fake news. It makes no difference if they say oops my bad, it was a mistake. The problem with garbage journalism like that is that the damage is already done. Not everybody that heard the story hears the retraction. How about just knowing what the **** you are talking about before you report something? Is that so hard. Of course it isn't. They know exactly what they are doing, and dont care who it hurts. In fact they want it to hurt. They know they can do it because they know people like you will eat up and overlook irresponsible style of reporting, and actually defend it.

Did someone get hurt by an mlk bust? I never heard anything about an mlk bust except from you.

I disagree with the first part. Fake means that it is something that is forgery, counterfeit or a purposeful deceit. He did not appear to be deceiving or scamming people, he was reporting something he thought but was lazy on checking his facts. I do not believe that it was fake news based on the retraction and admittance of guilt.

But I agree that the damage was done and the retraction wont help. It was poor news reporting.

What damage was done by this bust story (I still don't know what the bust story even is btw)

Reporting that the MLK bust (sculpture of his head) was taken down makes people think Trump and his staff did it and it adds to people's proof or idea that Trump is racist.

Oh I see. Hadn't even seen or heard anything about this. Not even on Facebook or anything.

Ya I could see how that would make trump look worse.

It is akin to something like you move into a new neighborhood. You're outside one day meeting a new neighbor. He's filling you in on the goings on, and kind of in passing says "hey and don't mind all the crap you'll hear about John down the street. They proved he wasn't a child molester. That was all completely false." so now what do you immediately think about John, even if the allegations are legitimately completely false? Yep. He's a child molester.

Same general concept. Just saying something will set the thought in people's minds.

Think "binders of women". I think Romney's record shows nothing but respect for women and women's rights (aside from the standard Republican rebuttal of abortion which is arguably about women's rights), yet after that comment and meme all anyone could think of the guy is he kept women in binders, marginalized them, didn't respect them. Poor choice of words by Romney? Sure. Proof of full on misogyny? Hardly. But that can be enough to strongly sway public opinion.

So to me the comments about the MLK bust are much more egregious than any comments made by the media about crowd sizes.

No there is not. There are thousands or more issues that people are on the left or right of. If you add them up people are somewhere along a very big spectrum. You can make up where you want to draw a line and call people left or right but its silly.



So you heard it somewhere by one person and you know think everyone who is in this arbitrary "left" thinks that and you are fighting against everyone. That is a silly fight.



I am not bashing on the right. I have bashed on the republican party for very specific things in their official platform. I have bashed on Fox News and CNN. None of those are bashing on the "right."

Neither Fox News or CNN is reporting fake news. I think you think anything being reported that is not completely true or ends up not being true is fake news. That is not correct.



I disagree with that statement. It is a fact that minorities, women and other groups are being mistreated in this country. I have shown many facts on here (that you always run away from) that show. The "left" is not creating the problem they are bringing these issues to light and people are standing up for it. This makes people uncomfortable and defensive. That is unfortunate and is no way to resolve it. I do believe some people are too aggressive in bringing light to these issues and it hurts the cause sometimes. But the reason that is a problem is again because there are very sensitive people getting their feelings hurt. Sadly people use and take the word racist as an insult when it is not. People do racist things, that does not make them a bad person. It simply means that culture and other things have caused them to look at race issues wrong and seeing it and fixing it is the best result. Although there are some of the bad racist people but those are a minority in this country.

Its fine if you want to ignore the race issue and pretend like white people are under attack and have it hard now but there is no real evidence to support systemic racism against white people that has ill effect on them in this country. There is hoards of evidence that black people and other groups are being hurt by it.

You have finally lost all credibility. You ONLY bash the right an ALWAYS run to the defense of the left. Your statements are on record an you can not now pretend to be some moderate now that you want the discussion to lean more left after Trump took office.

That is your angle. You are a sudden independent. Clap clap.
