I just watched Newsweek have to fire a “reporter“ for making up a story about Trump tweeting and golfing on Thanksgiving - when in reality he was on AF1 going to Afghanistan to do “Thanksgiving with the troops”. Guess what, that was fakenews and no one fooled me into visiting a site run by Macedonian teens.
In this case Newsweek didn’t fire her because she made up a story, they fired her because she was caught.
Jussy Smolleíte (the French actor), Covington kids, the red scare 2.0, The Mueller, basically everything on CNN for the past three years, everyday a new scandal... I need a break before I even care the slightest bit about what the original definition of fakenews was supposed to be.
Edit: ok, try and silence me. Fine by me, but just wait and see, I’m not the only one that isn’t looking what “legit” media is putting out and what “fakenews” is supposed to be and not seeing a ton of difference. Look at the bottom of the BBC article without an ad blocker if you need more evidence. It’s like you guys want to pretend that “real news” isn’t followed by and voted on by bot networks and push their own ad schemes.
I don't understand the Thanksgiving thing. Trump's official schedule called for him to spend Thanksgiving at his club in Florida. The Newsweek article said that he was going to spend Thanksgiving at the club, and that he would probably spend the day golfing and tweeting.
That he was actually going to Afghanistan was kept secret, and was not revealed until after the Newsweek story was written. The Newsweek story was then updated to include the Afghanistan visit.
