With the left’s newest war cry of “fake news” now always at the ready to deploy as a weapon to quash any right of center news outlet, Facebook has announced that it will now use three left-of-center organizations to “review” conservative sites to see if they are producing “fake news.” So, what could go wrong? Plenty.
Facebook insists it is doing its part to torpedo those “fake news” sites that so many liberals claim gave Trump the White House. But this is all just a smoke screen.
In fact, this effort has nothing whatever to do with making sure “news” is truthful. All it really is, is just another attempt by liberals to re-instate their once indisputable status as the “gatekeepers” of the media, an assumption that created a screening process through which only their approved, liberal “news” could get past. It was this “gatekeeping” wall that caused the loss of Vietnam, for instance, as the entirety of the liberal media lied to Americans that the war was lost and the U.S. should get out of Vietnam despite that the U.S. military won nearly every engagement it ever entered into during that conflict.
Facebook is being fueled by calls from such losers as Hillary Clinton who wants to quash the “fake news” that got Trump elected. Early in December, the two-time losing Democrat presidential candidate delivered a speech assailing “malicious” fake news hyperbolically claiming that its growth has “put lives at risk.”

Facebook Set to Use Left-wing Snopes, PolitiFact, and FactCheck.Org to Quash Conservative News Sites”
President-Elect Donald Trump has been giving the left fits over his choices — and even his rumored picks — for his nascent administration and cabinet. But so far the left has lost its lunch the most over the choice of Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State.
The watch words of the day seems to be “fake news” with liberals using the concept as a weapon to shut down all center right news and opinion outlets on both the Internet and TV. But the fact is, the liberal media invented “fake news” many decades before those on the right finally had enough of media bias and started their own news outlets.
A group of hateful lefties who are hiding behind anonymous Twitter names have organized a boycott of advertisers whose ads have been appearing regularly on Breitbart News. Unfortunately, the boycott is working causing at least 47 of these companies to flee the conservative powerhouse.
In only a week President-Elect Donald Trump has taken complete control of the media, especially with his two big jobs deals, and his detractors — both left and right — are furious over all of it.
Jon Stewart, former host of the left-wing Comedy Network cable TV show, “The Daily Show,” had a LOT to say during a recent interview with New York Times editor Chris Smith and with his uppercut smacks to the left in general and Barack Obama in particular, some of what he said is sure to infuriate his fellow leftists. But in fact, Stewart was right on with many of his criticisms.
At long last Fidel Castro became a good communist, dying at age 90 late on Friday, November 25. But with his death liberals everywhere revealed how much they love murderers as they mourned the loss of a man who liquidated at least hundreds of thousands if not over a million of his own people.
When Barack Obama won the White House in 2008 Democrats and their lapdogs in the media went wild telling everyone who would listen that resistance to Obama was un-American, dangerous, and racist. But now, before Donald Trump has even taken office, these same hypocrites have suddenly found that resistance is cool again.
The leftist media’s newest dead horse to flog is the so-called “Alt-Right” and its “connection” to President Elect Donald Trump. So, as a conservative, should you be worried about all this? Is it something you need to denounce? Is it a growing worry for your side? The answer to all that is a decided “no” and always remember the media are liars and hypocrites in the first place.
Now that Donald Trump has been elected to the White House, you can be sure that the media will suddenly realize that homelessness is rampant, unemployment is a major problem, the economy is bad, and America is evil again. And to prove the contention, the media is already talking about how there has been a “massive rise” in “hate crimes” against Muslims. And it’s all Trump’s fault. But don’t believe these lies.
For a week, now, since the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States, liberals under 30 years of age who grew up earning “participation trophies” for everything they did have been rioting in some of the nation’s largest cities in order to thwart the more than 200 year American tradition of the peaceful transfer of power from one political party to another. But this nation wide temper tantrum isn’t an example of the left “losing its mind.” It is actually revealing the authoritarian, violent, and hate-filled mind the left has inculcated in our youth.
As common, everyday liberals take to the streets to beat up those they disagree with, blockade streets, and destroy other people’s property because, you know, they are all so into “peaceful democracy,” their instigators in the left-wing media and entertainment biz are egging them on with one meltdown after another all because Donald J. Trump won the election for president.
There are some simple facts of life about members of the Democrat Party. They will say anything, they have no integrity, and everything the say is built on lies. It really is just that simple. And current Democrat National Committee Chair Donna Brazile just gave us a perfect example of this truism with her reaction to the latest FBI investigation against her boss, Hillary Clinton.
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has been appearing sometimes at more than four events a day for months, now, but the media has decided that his one-hour appearance to cut the ribbon at a new hotel is somehow short shrifting his campaign and supporters. And this even as they ignore Hillary’s taking days at a time off the campaign trail and going to an Adele concert.
The Clinton campaign and her media facilitators have been excoriating GOP nominee Donald Trump for “damaging our democracy” by raising the specter of election fraud. But even as the left screams that there is no such thing in the U.S. election system, evidence to the contrary has been piling up for decades.
A video clip posted by a Clinton supporter shows Hillary Clinton needing the help of an aide to mount a single step at a Florida rally, once again sparking questions about the Democrat nominee’s seemingly delicate health.
There has been a lot of rhetoric in this campaign season about how the old media establishment is entirely biased to the far left and how the media system is rigged in a united effort to destroy Donald Trump. But what can we show to prove this contention? Well, early this week we saw a perfect example of just how the left-wing, Clinton machine programs the entirety of the media to push a story aimed at destroying Trump.
If you get most of your news from the old media establishment consisting of newspapers and TV network news you’d be forgiven for not knowing about the damaging information contained in the latest batch of hacked emails publicly released by the whistleblower site WilieLeaks. That would be because the old media is systematically ignoring the story. Why? Because what is contained in these emails is thoroughly damaging to the Democrat Party as well as to Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
Over the weekend The New York Times stirred controversy with a story based on purportedly shocking revelations about Donald Trump’s taxes. The paper insisted Trump got away with paying no taxes at all in the 1990s and this, they intimated, makes him some sort of hypocrite. So, to borrow a phrase, what at this point does it matter?
It’s obvious that most articles about guns in the media are biased against our Second Amendment rights, certainly. Many are at least biased in that their facts and terminology are so badly garbled that incorrect analysis results. But a recent piece in a British newspaper is the most blatantly biased I’ve seen in some time.
The news media has been all a twitter over the small group of ne’er-do-wells, government leeches, and has-beens who claim to have been Republicans in the past but who are now nonetheless supporting Hillary Clinton for President. But those who pretend at being Republican and support Hillary need to be ostracized and cast out of the center right coalition, not because they are traitors merely to the Republican Party but because they are traitors to the entire country.
This week redoubtable conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg noted that the conservative movement must “John Birch” the Alt-Right, meaning we need to destroy them and kick them out of the center right tent. But Jonah is being ridiculous. In reality we need to go back to ignoring this group of loudmouthed misfits because they are insignificant.
One of the many reasons anti-Trumpers say Donald Trump is unsuitable to be our president is that he is an authoritarian and might make for a sort of dictator in the oval office. But whatever Trump’s tendencies, it seems pretty clear that this fear is an absurd one.
If the election were held today, Donald Trump would beat Hillary Clinton by upwards to 10 points according to polling guru Nate Silver.
