Anyone surprised that the Gay Bob's and Race's of the world are the ones spreading fake news? Nope.

    You still believe in Pizzagate, Seth Rich's murder conspiracy, and Uranium One?

    Believe in? Still? Stop being such a caricature

    Uranium 1 is real the rest is nonsense that you will never find a post from me on

    I can go back one week and get you rather easily spreading fake news. Heal yourself and keep my name out of your mouth

    [Plus, it's an important reminder that liberal readers (and voters) are also susceptible to the lure of a too-good-to-be-true headline.

    "The most surprising finding of our study is that fake news affects both the right and the left, the educated and uneducated," The Trade Desk's CEO, Jeff Green, told Business Insider.]

    [According to The Trade Desk, fake-news readers on the right were more likely to be older, white, and in the military or work for the federal government.

    They were about 56 times as likely to be Gen-Xers, 22 times as likely to be white, and 21 times as likely to be male than Americans as a whole. They were also 39 times as likely to be in the property industry than

    the US population at large, and 27 times as likely to be over 65.]

    [Fake-news readers on the left were more likely to be affluent and college-educated, wealthy, and in financial services.

    Specifically, they were 54 times as likely to be politically influential, 34 times as likely to be college graduates, and 31 times as likely to be "positive idealists" than the overall US population.]

    I'm glad we can all agree that fact based reporting should be a foundation of good journalism in the media. I look forward to your future posts supporting that position.

    Some dumb whites on the right fall for fake news and educated rich folks on the left fall for fake news

    Sounds like we? poor dumb old whites have an excuse at least

    Speaks volumes on our higher education system IMO

    Pretty fucking funny from the Kunt that was pushing the Buzz feed story less than a week ago. Feel free to cite any of those examples where I've pushed a fake news story.

    I also have to add that this is one of the very same Kunts who claims that it's a conspiracy theory to claim that Hillary and the DNC paid for the dossier.


    I await you posting a single example of me posting a fake story like you do dumbass. Hell that "right-wing" terrorism story you posted today is bullshit.

    There’s a difference between buzzfeed getting parts of a story wrong and right wingers sharing a www.news-daily.net link about the Clintons being implicated in an underground child sex ring.

    Did you miss the left wing circle jerk over buzzfeed?

    That's the new spin? Buzzfeed just got "parts" of the story wrong? Buzzfeed is considered to be a legitimate news source. You're really going to compare it to a conservative chat room?

    Your favorite cable news station was pushing the Seth Rich murder conspiracy for months even after the mourning family asked them to stop.

    Hannity was pushing it. None of the legitimate News sources were pushing it. You were here pushing a bullshit story last week and again today Kunt. Why do you hold Fox News to higher standard then you hold yourself?

    And you claimed that I've pushed fake news stories. That's a flat out fucking lie. You need to heal yourself first Kunt.

    Is this your new phrase? Clever. Looking forward to seeing it mixed in with kunt, strawman ass fuck, and the rest of Gay Bob's greatest hits.

    So the story here is that you hold Fox News to a far higher standard then you hold yourself.
