Fake News, Mass Hysteria and Induced Insanity

The "fake news" is that we've never been healthier, healthcare costs are under control and our economy has fully "recovered."

We've heard a lot about "fake news" from those whose master narratives are threatened by alternative sources and analyses.

We've heard less about the master narratives being threatened: the fomenting of mass hysteria, which turns the populace into an easily manipulated and managed herd, and induced insanity, a longer-term marketing-based narrative that causes the populace to ignore the self-destructive consequences of accepting the fad/ ideology/ mindset being pushed as "good" and "normal."

In terms of "fake news," it's hard to beat the mainstream media and its handlers' attempts to whip up mass hysteria via unsubstantiated claims that Russian hackers working for Putin deprived Hillary of the presidency.


the rest here.

More smoke and mirror blog posts telling you not to trust any legitimate news agencies. Trust them instead, why? Because you agree with their opinion. The fact that the right has easily manipulated the term "fake news" to convince the gullible that the NYT, Washington Post and NBC are the purveyors of fake news is impressive, if nothing else.

Anyone who think those 3 papers report the news accurately is kidding themself.
Days of Walter Cronkite are long gone when he would report the news accurately. Even though he leaned very sharply to the left he was fair.
I believe something like 95-97 percent of reporters at those 3 papers contributed to either Clinton or Sanders. Please do not try to suggest they were fair.

If Walter Cronkite investigated Donald Trump's charity you'd cry like a bitch about him too. You take offense to every report anyone doesn't fit your narrative. You guys have horse blinders on. Everybody's biased, it's all unfair, blah blah blah. Put on your big boy pants and learn how to think for your self.

Mr. Snowflake hate to break it to you but Cronkite reported news. He did not do any reporting of charities. I hope Trump dismantles everything thing Obozo has done. I do think for myself. I think Obama is the worst president every. He has lied over and over. His latest land grabbing scheme is just another example of his bullshit.
I shouldn't complain. Sam Stein said it best yesterday. He said Obama has destroyed the deomocratic party.
Get your crying towel out because Trump s going to really piss you off. Thanks to Harry Reid he will not need 60 votes for SCOTUS pick or for other changes.
I hope Cruz gets the nod for the court. Is that ok w you?:lol::lol:

Fraud at the highest level would not have interested him, lol. I give.

Why are you rooting for this country to fail? You just can't take that Obama helped turn this country around after the Bush administration left him with the Great Recession. Worst president ever, lol. You are so mired in the Republican talking points and right wing blog posts. Yeah, you can think for yourself, lol. The country has rebounded nicely from the Bush years, but you guys are reading about how the country is in the toilet and only a thrice married con man can save it. You guys are so gullible. Remember the banking scandals? REAL scandals that hurt the people of this country. Remember those? Read up on who was involved, then look who Trump is populating his cabinet with. What could possibly go wrong? Here comes another shit sandwich for us, but Trump and the rich will get richer.

Might as well put Cruz on the SCOTUS. When you are making bad decisions left and right, what's one more?
