That was literally my first guess.
Yes?
This is called fake news, it’s been an issue in politics globally for a few years now. How is this one particular instance of it more newsworthy than any other?
Wait, you mean actual fake news, and not the news outlets Trump just calls fake news regularly?
Yes, this is literally real fake news.
Fake news or information disorder is false or misleading information (misinformation, including disinformation, propaganda, and hoaxes) presented as news. Fake news often has the aim of damaging the reputation of a person or entity, or making money through advertising revenue.
Yeah, it's important to realize that the term "fake news" used by Trump was in Nazi Germany style: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press
“Fake News” was an Alt-Right Op that the left swallowed Hook, Line, and Sinker.
- Call everything you don’t like “Fake News”
- Intentionally put out an obviously false story. In this case it was “The Bowling Green Massacre”
- Watch as your enemies do your work for you, thinking they “gotcha” and start using the term “fake news” helping you delegitimization all news sources, even legitimate ones.
Yeah okay 👌
In this case it was “The Bowling Green Massacre”
Do you know what year it is? Who the president is? Or what you're posting about?
Yes.
Imagine that... it spread widely on X before being taken down.
I just saw a text on my moms phone, stating Kamala was paying to have Trump put in jail.
Is she the sort of person who falls for crap like that? If so, I'm sorry you have to put up with it.
Yep. Full maga.
My condolences. Have you ever collected a list of her forwarded predictions and claims, and shown her all the ones that didn't turn out to be true?
Block them all for her and put an adult lock on Fox News
Oh no the news was so breaking your phone!
Same thing happened to a sitting city council member in Portland, except that story was leaked by the head of the police union.
How can this be we know little baby hands Putin supports Kamala Harris /s
A website claiming to be a local San Francisco news outlet named KBSF-TV published a baseless claim on Monday alleging that Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in a June 2011 hit-and-run incident that left a 13-year-old girl paralyzed. Harris was California's attorney general at the time, and has been a longtime Bay Area resident.
Analysis of the article and site indicate the story is false; public records and news reports show no evidence of the hit-and-run incident. The San Francisco Police Department told CBS News that they could not find records of the incident. A CBS News analysis of a video that accompanied the article found it contained several photos from other unrelated news stories.
If it's effective, why don't certain people just start publishing stories about Trump secretly supporting abortion rights and performing abortions himself for fun? He really grabs these women by the pussy.
Because evidence doesn't matter to his base. They don't believe anything negative about him, all of it is lies. Likewise they believe everything bad about his enemies.
Their beliefs are not rational. They are based entirely on emotion, not facts or reason. And they hold those beliefs so strongly that they identify as part of themselves. That belief cannot be shaken, because it means that part of them was wrong as well, and that couldn't possibly be right. They would have to actually self-reflect, and they're incapable of that.
KBSF-TV
That's fucking funny. Silly humans
