Mercury News has a Google News-featured article up titled “How to tell if it’s fake news.” It contains the same bullshit, boilerplate “fake news” scare meme that the rest of the media has been flogging for weeks now, and of course it can be safely ignored.
Here…I’ll give you my take on “How to tell if it’s fake news.”
Real fake news.
It’s quite simple.
If it is:
1-Unattributed
2-Apparently not only unattributed but unattributable
3-“Leaked” by an anonymous source in the federal government, including the military and especially including any intelligence agency that is itself not so secret that we don’t even know about it.
And/or
4-If it follows the mainstream media fake news spiel of the week or month…like “Da Russkies did it!!!” or “The Electoral Cottage”…errrr, ahhh…”Electoral College should man/woman up and deselect the candidate who won under the rules of the Constitution!!!” most recently, and “HRC will win in a landslide!!! Don’t be left out!!!” since late summer 2016 (until she got her ass handed to her by a clever and/or amazingly lucky mountebank)…it’s fake news.
No matter whether it’s from the Lying Grey Lady, the Washingtoon Post, the Fudge Report Black Bart’s Breitbart or any other large media outlet.
You want the real news? It’s not “Da Russkies did it!!!”, it’s “Da Fix din’t work dis time!!! UH oh!!! What’ll we do now!!!???”
False news my truth-laden Irish Ass!!!
Dassit.
Gotta go to work.
While there still is some.
Later…
