Scionix posted:crazy idea here but how about we educate our citizens so they can distinguish "fake" news instead of attempting to censor news The problem is that people don't want to distinguish fake news. No amount of education can get in the way of someone who desperately wants to believe. It's pretty easy for a fake story to be more attractive than reality could possibly be; even here, an Onion story posted without attribution or links usually tricks a few people before someone gets suspicious and punches the first few lines into Google.

Tunicate posted:CNN employees were deep enough in bed with Hillary's campaign to slip her debate questions, and they literally interviewed their own cameraman when covering the anti-Trump protests. On the other hand, they hired Ledanowski while he was still on the campaign's payroll, specifically so they could have a Trump mouthpiece.

SMILLENNIALSMILLEN posted:The debate question was an audience member telling a paid Clinton surrogate that they were going to ask a question and them passing it onto the clinton campaign, wasn't it? It was a CNN employee who was on a leave of absence from CNN because she was working for Hillary's campaign how she got the question is still unknown. CNN insists they had nothing to do with it and that she must have gotten the question directly from the folks running the debate. some reporters said they saw her talking with people in the crowds and suggested that maybe she got it directly from the audience member who submitted it; that one is probably horseshit. afaik no one's ever managed to scrape together evidence or confirmation for any of those theories, and everyone implicated has denied any involvement or wrongdoing, including Brazile herself. she didn't even give a decent excuse, i think she was hoping the "maybe the Russians put some fake emails in with the real ones" talking point would catch on so she wouldn't have to
