The Honorable New York Times said Saddam had Chemical Weapons, and was a party for enabling a Trillion dollar war. I think they should be definitely be labeled "fake news".
I am not fan of Breitbart, but when Reason magazine is labeled "fake news", this is not a crusade for truth, but to stamp out opposition "Stalin style".
- croon 10y ago1) NYT reporting on government releases is not peddling fake news. It is being lied to. 2) That was a the Bush administration, why would the "liberal mainstream" be colluding with the GOP? If your goal is to stop spreading lies, I suggest an introspection to begin with.
- sremani 10y ago"liberal mainstream" colluded with GOP during 2003 because of the shadow of 9/11. If you remember history correctly, Dubya had high approval rating for couple years after 9/11 and they found it inconvenient or expedient to play along. NYT has its share of "fake" stories, where they either willfully misguided or parroted the White house talking points because of pressures of the day. At the end of the day, NYT is a propaganda machine most of the time leaning left, except when it is uncomfortable. My point was broadly that labeling Reason as fake news demonstrates this whole news stories about fake news is in itself fake outrage. On your suggestion of spreading lies, I sure do introspect, and in this case, I find you acting childish and narrative driven rather than facts.
