    Re: Fake News.

    Here's how the "News" is made. Across all networks and supposedly independent local stations. The "news" comes from the same place. The presenters read from the same script.

    These examples in this video are in the US. Is it the same everywhere?

    ^ Not sure about everywhere.

    In Australia, I usually only watch the non-commericial news.

    We have 2 fairly decent 'government' funded TV networks, the ABC and SBS.

    The ABC continuously wins most of the Journalism Awards as they buck the trend and actually retain Journalists who investigate.


    There seems to be a trend towards 'Newstainment' where viewers want to be entertained by their news, rather then informed.

    What does concern me is that many, usually a younger demographic, get their news from Social Media.

    About 6-in-10 Americans get news from social media
    A majority of U.S. adults – 62% – get news on social media, and 18% do so often, according to a new survey by Pew Research Center, conducted in association with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. In 2012, based on a slightly different question, 49% of U.S. adults reported seeing news on social media.
    Sadly we used to have a program called 'Fact Checker' where the validity of a Politicians sound byte could be verified or vilified without fear or favour ... but it got axed due to 'Budget Cuts'.


    Back to the Us, given the size of the place, surely there must be some news broadcaster who you can trust for a genuine independent viewpoint?

    To be fair to Oz both SBS and ABC are far superior to US media

    The evil left news has lied all too often, the people are no longer taken in bye them. They have fully revealed themselves as paid leftist stooges, the truth is known now, even the undecided know it and believe it. What proof do I have? Why the election of trump shows it. Its now a downward slope for the left, how far down will they go? Only time will tell, but they dems need to flush the toilet more then a few times to get rid of the socialists, communists, false greens who tried a takeover of a fine old party. They need to get back to the days of bill Clinton policies not the corruption hehe.

    The people have spoken, they no longer believe the lying left. Trump won, the repubs won the senate , the repubs won the house, the repubs hold 34 of 50 state governorships, do the repubs really hold 44 out of 50 state legislatures?

    You can bash fox all you want but the voters choose to believe it and breitbart and drudge more then the left. You can only lie so often, so much, so badly for so long. The voters have spoken.

    And whats more the lefts antics post election have proven them all right to have voted for the repubs and those middle of the road voters who didn't vote repub, are now horrified to see the left reveal itself for what it really is. If they had done this before the vote the repubs would of had even larger majorities.

    Now go ahead and bash me. The proof is in the vote!

    Actually I would disagree here. I think it is the other way around. Older people are the main culprits for sharing and actually believing the fake news articles. There are a couple of posters here who frequently share bogus chain emails/facebook posts on this site. Young people are more likely to recognize the source as bogus.

    When you say Social Media are we talking web sites in general or do you mean FaceBook and other similar platforms(including forums such as this)?

    Personally I get nothing from FB because I don't do FB.

    When it gets down to it, I actually learn more from the comments left at many places than I do from the actual websites and their particular flavors of 'news'.

    Don't feel bad, I have no accounts at any of them. I used to have a youtube account but canceled it when Google acquired youtube. I hate Google. But that's another story...

    Eight years of inept management under Bush was the greatest financial blunder of the last 50 years.

    You don't just pass or repeal laws and forget about oversight, but the Bush administration and Greenspan were happy to let everyone run amok.

    Bush & Greenspan were indeed incompetent, so I assume you support Clinton's repeal of Glass / Steagall and the financial crisis it brought.

    Not really. Most of the toxic products that caused the financial crisis were never regulated by Glass Steagall in the first place.

    Lack of oversight was the problem. That's how companies like Enron were allowed create havoc. The lesson should have been learned then, but Republicans hate regulation.

    And let's face it, Sarbanes Oxley proved to be a complete fucking waste of time.

    How was it that Bush passed or repealed laws?
