Marketing, spin, propaganda, disinformation…they lie on a continuum. All are “lies” in one form or another, and we’ve become relatively inured to it on the lower end.

When used benignly, it’s to sell us cokes and Big Macs. But when used sinisterly, it can change the course of history. And with the proliferation of the Internet, it’s become all to easy to gin up “news” for people with an agenda.

I’m not sure what the solutions are, except to read a variety of sources and to look for rationality in arguments people make. I feel like we’re fighting against grade 5 rapids.

What part of “CNN has purposefully turned to the right to accommodate the so called president and compete more forcefully with Fox News” do you not understand? CNN will continue to book right wing agitators in order to reach that goal.

Fact is not fake news. The consumer can decide how important the information is.

Very nicely put. I’m finding out first hand how hard it is to argue political views rationally without emotive and offensive language getting in the way.

I agree, in general. But, having watched the tape, it was pretty clear that the segment was coming to a close and Lemon was going to let Dullard have the last word. Instead, Lemon had to use up most of Dullard’s time to school Dullard, so there was no more time to continue.

How laughable that the Righties call this ‘fake news’ in order to feed their howler monkey Trumpanzees’! Here is the ‘fiscal responsibility’ that Trump and the GOP promised.

Trump’s Already On Track To Cost You More Money Than Obama Did His Entire Term

But now that he’s president, Trump is doing the same — and he’s doing it even worse. Between Trump’s frequent trips to Palm Beach, Florida, and his family’s habits, the cost of this presidency is going way up. First of all, each of those weekend Mar-a-Lago trips cost about $3 million. In his first month as president, Trump took three trips to Mar-a-Lago. That’s about $9 to $10 million on trips to Florida in his first month alone. Palm Beach County officials are asking for reimbursements of tens of thousands of dollars a day for security and traffic when Trump is at Mar-a-Lago, according to The Washington Post. Local taxpayers were cost about $60,000 a day for overtime police work.

Meanwhile, Mar-a-Lago isn’t equipped for a president. Secret Service paid more than $12,000 for tents, portably toilets, light towers and golf carts just to make sure they could all do their work for Trump’s Super Bowl weekend trip.

Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump has a golf course, is also preparing for costs incurred by Trump appearances. And that’s not all! ADVERTISING The rest of the Trump family is costing a ton of money as well.

First Lady Melania and son Barron Trump are living in New York City until Barron finishes out the school year. That is an extremely costly decision. The city of New York is paying $500,000 each day to guard Trump Tower. By the end of the year, that could amount to $183 million.

Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr., are heading to the United Arab Emirates this weekend for the opening of a Trump golf resort, which is more money for their Secret Service. The weekend trip to Dubai is already costing Secret Service more than $16,000 in hotels. When Eric went to Uruguay for another Trump property, Secret Service and U.S. Embassy staff paid around $10,000 in hotels, The Washington Post reported. Eric also went to the Dominican Republic for the family business. The full numbers on that aren’t available, but Secret Service went there before the trip to scope it out, and hotels for the scoping trip cost $5,470.

Overall, Trump’s four-year term is on track easily to cost more than Obama’s entire eight years in office. Obama’s travel costs as president are estimated at $97 million for the eight years. Based on the last month, Trump’s travel cost as president for just four years is predicted to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars more, according to The Washington Post.

And don’t forget how pathological Liar n’ Chief and hypocrite extraordinaire Trump attacked Obama for lavish spending on vacations:

Better yet, stop inviting him.

Nobody is concerned about “fake news.” Everybody knows that’s just a ploy by the weak minded, who can’t argue a point.

The problem is everybody’s scratching their heads. If people like this reflect the quality of your “analysts,” in what kind of terrible shape are your actual news sources?

Fake news™ is a wholly own subsidiary of Mar-a-Lago Enterprises LLC which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aberdeen Golf Club LLC which is completely owned by the trump Organization of NYC LLC and the human owners of record are now in Dubai and Mar-a-Lago counting their votes and income.

Any attack on the 4th estate (calling the media the enemy of the American People) is an attack on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution which to me is DT breaking his oath of office which specifically says he will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.

No, TPM is a forum where obvious trolls—take a bow, uk----are called out for what they are.
And you were called a “Putin-fellator” by a gay man.

Now stop interrupting the adults.
