Fake News

No such thing as fake news, if you haven't heard it before it's news to you, plus if Trumpy outrageous you probably haven't heard it before. It should be called untruthful news, or not accurate news, or misleading news, or un-fact-checked news ...

hey I know, call it lies.

Sins of omission. If it doesn't fit the narrative, it doesn't get play.

Or force it until it does fit. It night not even be recognizable at that point, but the narrative is more important.

My Bacefook feed had back to back interpretations of the White Settlement church shootings. Even with the same facts the event was twisted to each side.
