Honest question, do you really think that *I'm* a "socialist"?
Yeah we don't want to see our home, the good old U.S.A. turned into a socialist p00p hole filled with starvation, misery, and death. Sorry If You're Offended, but Socialism Leads to Misery and Destitution
So you think that if you lie enough about socialism, people will believe you???

You should read the article.
The pictures of poor starving Norwegian children was truly heart breaking. And don't even ask me about the Danes!
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Why lie about it? You can actually see it in the real world.

Yes, look at how this poor Norwegian boy has to make an improvised gas mask to protect himself against toxic lutefisk fumes:
That's a myth, because no Western European countries are socialist. They are all Capitalist. And they don't have a higher standard of living. I lived in Germany for 5 years. Most homes (lower and middle class) don't have A.C., dryers, kitchen appliances (dishwashers, stoves, refrigerators). Taxes are insanely high, you can forget about freedom of speech, heck you can get arrested for telling a joke.....
No thanks I'll stick with the good old U.S.
What I question is if socialism is so great how come the people that want it, just move to a socialist country? Go learn the language, move there, and take advantage of, then be apart of the socialism you so much love. Surely they would accept you with open arms.

Actually? It does the exact opposite: It literally paves the way TO indictment, for other agencies to follow. The list of tЯump's criminal and treasonous actions are listed. At last count, 23 counts of obstruction alone.
If a b.j. was enough to impeach Clinton? 23 counts of deliberate obstruction of Justice ought to be sufficient to put him in jail where he belongs.
Seriously? The rape crime system is absolutely broken-- there are hundreds of thousands of rape kits in various police stations-- UNTESTED. Because the USA has a culture of rape-apologizers.
It is fueled by hypocritical "christians" among other reasons.
Moreover? The Filthy Rich never-- EVER face actual rape charges. Unless, you know, you are a person of Color....
AND THERE IT IS: THE CULTURE OF RAPE-APOLOGIZERS-- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
The nasty tЯump's guilt is On Record-- pay offs alone, prove his guilt. Stormy Daniels-- THE ONLY PERSON tЯump EVER PAID WHO WAS QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB.
So freaking what?
BECAUSE ONLY THE GOP IS RACIST ENOUGH AND STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR HIM.
Duuuuuuuhhhhhhh...
Actually? HE WAS. He has ALWAYS been a member of the KKK-- his daddy was one of the leaders...
Don't give a flying fig what "opera" the Attention Hound, has to say-- don't watch HIGHLY EDITED youtubes.

Bankruptcy doesn't bother True Believers™ .... and True to his Methods, he's on track to bankrupting the USA...
What, exactly are CONservitives .... CONSERVING? THE RICHES OF THE 1%?
Is there objective quantitative analysis for this claim?
I ask because I continually hear it from those who hate
Fox News, making it an attractive thing to believe.
So I'm skeptical.
A prime example was NPR's article portraying Trump as Hitler.
Most liberals cannot see how it's fake because it's just too
compelling for them to believe. And their primary tool, prevarication,
gives plausible deniability of lying. To state some real facts with an
intent to mislead is still dishonest.
It was an interesting article on one fake news creator, maybe a very big creator, in the fake news industry.
I found one point most interesting above all. He knows the target demographic where fake news has the biggest impact and makes the most money. The same group that makes mega-millionaire ministers and uses conspiracy theories to make political decisions. This is reflected in the very successful examples that were provided.
It is a shame that these people can be so easily reached with lies, but have completely protected themselves from the objective truth.
Politics aside, Coler is a businessman and fake news is lucrative business. History is full of those that have capitalized on that fact, whether on the left or on the right. What does not seem to change is the group that responds so well and predictably to it no matter what direction it comes from.
It is irrational, but there are some interesting parallels of playing on nationalism, fear and the use of propaganda. Finding targets to demonize is probably easier now than it was 75 years ago.
A good example of one fake news story that did successfully target the left.
I know of examples of Fox News creating fake news spread out over the years, but I do not know of any studies that have been conducted and reported. Though, I would be surprised if there are not a few out there.
Didn't they win court approval to be able to report lies or is that an urban myth?
