Summations Only

(a) so the media responses were not fake news even though Trump says they are all fake?(b) so reporting what people say (publishing tweets from people) is fake?Funny.

You mean like quote mining? Where a quote is taken out of context and used to mean something different than the original intent?Enjoy

As posted in Message 338: ALL news is questionable, ALL polls are questionable, but some are way more questionable than others, and it is the duty of the READER to fact check articles and polls before posting them.Especially if they are from the bottom half and the left or right 25%.Data analysis for instance shows that people who watch Faux Noise Nutwerk (FNN) are worse informed about current and world events than people who do not watch ANY news.In terms of polls, we only need to consider that FNN polling the highest viewer rating of the major networks, but they are the ONLY network watched by conservatives, while the others are middle or left leaning and they divide up the remainder of the viewing public. For instance it appears from the numbers, that combining CNN and MSNBC numbers they would beat FNN. This would be similar to an election with one conservative candidate against a couple of liberal candidates dividing up the majority votes. Like a 40-30-30 split or a 40-35-25 split.And there are some structural factors involved as well. Visit any hotel or motel and see what is the default channel on the TV. Doctors offices and hospitals, same.When you stand in the middle of a swamp of misinformation and call the rest of the world fake, that is fake news.Enjoy
