(25,270 posts)It's about time someone put these people that yell 'fake news' in their place. If they have no way to defend their position they yell 'fake news' to try and end a discussion.
We need more anchors like Lemon to call these people on this.
You can just see the frustration building up in the media.
To put a stop to this 'fake news' crap started by 45Pee - the MSM just has to start ignoring these people - starting with 45Pee himself. Maybe they would change their tune when they get no press coverage at all.

CNN irritatingly and annoyingly consistently offers the "alternative conservative viewpoint" - which pollutes our airways, broadband and cable with lies and FAKE NEWS!
Maybe they have had enough! Provable fact, fact, fact - followed by provable lie, lie, lie - is not fair and balanced reporting. We have a network that peddles that manure. It's unwatchable, CNN!

It's not going to work. Any sane person or journalist has to be very
concerned with logic and facts. If we lost them, the tools we use

(3,847 posts)I need to know why these bullshit stories on President Obama's vacation time and cost verses every one else.
Seems these morons don't want to remember ALL former presidents and their spouses, for life. The media needs to slap this garbage down immediately. President Obama was one of the fewest vacations I've seen in a long time. Maybe the media needs to start putting this rabid dog of a "story" down. They need to start a comparable diagram to show the difference and lies Cheetolini about everything that spews from his pie hole.

(10,918 posts)(in Obama's 8 years, an estimated $97 million spent. But 3 trips to Mar-A-Lago may have cost $10M plus local law enforcement costs. And protecting Trump Tower (thank to Melania and Barron staying there) costs about $183 M/year.

... This is an expensive way to conduct business, and the president should recognize that, said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. The unique thing about President Trump is that he knows what it costs to run a plane, Fitton said about Trump's travel to Mar-a-Lago in Florida. He suggested Camp David may be the better choice, since Trump can easily get there by helicopter.
... There was an anticipation of how stressful it was going to be on the agency," said Jonathan Wackrow, a 14-year Secret Service employee who served during Obama's administration. "But the harsh reality is that the stress is just overwhelming." According to Wackrow, agents are at severe risk of burnout."

(34,087 posts)I'm not in favor of shutting off conversations with opposing viewpoints. BUT that stops when they insist on using propaganda techniques (labeling news fake merely because you disagree with it, and intentionally lying).
More media needs to follow his lead. Explain what fake news is. Lay down the expectation that calling honest journalism fake news will not be tolerated, giving them a chance to honestly put their side forward, but shutting it down at the very next violation. No third chance.
The same should go for demonstrably false statements. You get one chance - you are called on it, and then the very next falsehood that is uttered -you are shut down.

(129,441 posts)It's funny that the GOP found someone who was probably more (or at least almost as) obnoxious as Ron Christie was! This Paris Dennard guy is like a robot with a broken voice program. And apparently this has happened before on CNN when the guy was up against Charles Blow (who we saw torpedo another RW loon just a day or so ago). I have to admit that I have pretty much stopped watching the bloviators on TV so this guy slid under my radar but he is apparently out there all over the place.
Edit to add - Holy shit, was looking at Ron Christie's twitter feed and I never expected him to be lukewarm to neutral about Drumpf and positively glowing about April Ryan! Hell is starting to freeze over.
That's EXACTLY how they need to handle the Trump people from now on. Exactly.

Victor_c3
(3,557 posts)That Paris guy (I forgot his last name) stated "it's my opinion that this is fake news". To me, fake is something you can verify as false, not something that could be argued to be a frivolous story by a person's opinion. This wasn't an issue that was worth fighting over as fake or not. 45's team is unnecessarily burning bridges with the media and it is going to night them in the ass hard and soon.

Kudos to Don.
I know CNN is still looking at the bottom line and this is working for them, as they studied the impact on their ratings. But kudos to them for standing up to the spewing of talking points without push back!!
