Fake news. Trump filled it for his inauguration.

Whatever your cult leader says...

No its what the facts say.https://madworldnews.com/real-images-trump-inaguration/

That's cute. A quick search about madworld news revealed it's been characterized as "Extreme Right, Propaganda, Lack of Transparency Some Fake News" by independent fact checkers. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mad-world-news/

But that's besides the point. If your 'leader' cared as much about Americans' health, safety and wellbeing as much as he does about his ratings and crowd sizes, he'd be an effective president and the "fake news", as you like to call it, would have better things to say about him.

When Biden is sworn in as President in January he, in all likelihood, will not be speaking to a mass crowd. And you sure as hell won't hear him whine and cry and lie about how his crowd was bigger than 45's. That's the difference between a leader and a child.

Lol. You claim its far right propaganda then link a far left fact checking site. No partisanship there.
Trump IS an effective president. He's the most effective president for the pat 50 years. The fake news is fake because the constantly lie. I'm not talking about putting a spin on a story. I'm talking out right lying.

Biden won't be sworn in because 1/3 of the democrats are sitting out this election because they can't bring themselves to vote for him.

"Far left fact checking site"? Where's your independent source to verify that? Have you seen what they say about left-leaning news sources? I think they call it pretty fair.

I think Trump is very effective in his craft of manipulation. You and several others think any criticism or reporting that is perceived to be negative in any way is automatically a lie by default. He has exploited his followers' fears and paranoia by continuous and relentless attacks on the mainstream media to discredit it. In doing so, he has created a world where he can do no wrong. So now anytime he f**ks up and there's a story about it, all he has to do is call it fake news and his followers believe him. Actual success doesn't matter to him, it's the appearance or illusion of success; that is what he's so good and effective at.

Getting back to the meme, the focus isn't whether or not Trump's crowd size was smaller or whether the photo is fake or not (In reality, it's a real photo, though it may have been taken sometime prior the start of the ceremony). It's the fact that he spends so much brainpower fixated on such a MEANINGLESS topic because he's THAT thin-skinned. If he never gets up there and boasts and exaggerates about the size of his crowds (calling it the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, which was demonstratively false), this photo doesn't circulate and it never becomes a story we're still talking about four years later or a meme.

The fact that this struck such a sensitive nerve in him demonstrates his unhealthy obsession with Obama and his insecurities when measured up against him. It's another reason he has indiscriminately removed any and all things with Obama's footprints, including eliminating the WH pandemic response team, the Global Health Security and Biodefense unit, established in 2015.

Democrats will vote for Biden and Trump will lose this election in large part to his pathetic and disastrous handling of the pandemic. And when Biden's inauguration crowd is smaller than Trump's, due to his voters' understanding of the severity of Covid19 and the importance of social distancing, he won't cry and poop his pants.

Can you point out some examples where they attack leftist articles?

We don't think everything is a lie by default. Its that the left lies so much and so often that we automatically go and check their sources to see what the truth is. They've blown any credibility they have and that's one of the reasons Trump will get reelected. The general public know they lie now. Most won't even check. They'll just assume they are lying.

I agree Trump has an ego problem, but he is securing his legacy as best president ever so he is going to make the best decisions he can. So in this case his ego works for america.

What struck a nerve in Trump was that the media would lie so openly when it could easily be verified as false.

Are you familiar with the term 'projection'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZJEI4TNMro

The Media Bias/Fact Check website I provided for you doesn't attack specific articles. It characterizes news sources as a whole. You made a baseless, asinine assumption to call it "far left" simply because it discredited the source of your article, without doing any research. It lists over 3000 news sources, you are free to look it up yourself.

Uh no. If it characterizes news sources as a whole, then its just a reverse appeal to authority. You fact check articles with claiming facts. Otherwise you put out one bad article (accidentally) and you are equated with CNN.

That's not a coherent thought.

It's based on the news source's entire body of work. Not one article or mistake. Infowars could get one thing right, that doesn't make them a reliable and independent news source.

This conversation started when you called it "fake news" by providing a Mad World News article with the word 'OPINION' written in large bold font at the very top of the article, siting it as "fact".

Yes, it is. I'm calling out a logical fallacy in your post. Here, let me show you how it works:
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com was wrong that one time, therefore we can never trust anything they say again.
Reverse appeal to authority.

Your argument that the general public trusts Trump over the mainstream media has no merit.

Never said the general public would trust Trump over mainstream media. I said they now know the mainstream media is fake news. They will make assumptions that everything they say is lies.

Replying to below comment.
Uh no. Fake news is any news story that has misinformation or outright lies in it. CNN is full of fake news. NPR is not far behind, other mainstream news will either ignore stories, spin them hard in favor of the left or quote CNN and NPR.

Re: below
"Fake news" is a neologistic term adopted in 2016. It directly referred completely fabricated, fictional news stories written and distributed for monetary purposes. Its usage, and thus meaning, has evolved into more of what you describe. This will give you a good idea about the origin: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-42724320 (nothing right or left about this article)

Most mainstream media is more entertainment than it is news. As is most of the news you probably consume. This article (from a right leaning news source) gives a pretty good general idea of where these news sources stand on bias and factual spectrums using charts. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-biased-is-your-news-source-you-probably-wont-agree-with-this-chart-2018-02-28

You do realize the term 'fake news' was hijacked by Trump and his followers to describe any reporting that's critical of him, don't you? It's to distract you from what it actually means... A deliberate made-up news story designed to propagate and mislead the public, exploited by opportunists mostly on the right but also some on the left, as well as the Russians in their attempt to help Trump win election. An example of actual fake news is the story that Hillary Clinton was running a pedophile ring out of a pizza parlor basement. Every news source has some level of bias, even the ones that are most fact-based. That doesn't mean that they report is untrue, it's that they choose what topic to cover while maybe passing on an opportunity to cover a story less appealing to their audience or ideology. NPR is an example. It's certainly left-leaning, but is factual.

Do you not believe Trump and the rightwing media lie and spin information on a regular basis? Do you think it's possible that maybe YOUR source of information is spun so far right that it deceives the vulnerable people it targets to believe things like "best president ever... most effective president for the pat 50 years."

Only someone living in a far right fantasy world and consuming the garbage they put out could possibly think a center/left-leaning fact-based news source like NPR is "far left propaganda."

Come on dude, we're in just the beginning of the worst economic recession in the nation's history, that could and should have been avoided. Trump ignored every warning and failed to act, hoping it would "disappear like a miracle." More cases and death than any other country on earth and it will only continue to bet worse. Two months of lockdown and there is still no plan to safely reopen the economy. For two months they did nothing but sit on their hands and tell us all how much of "a great success story" this all is. It's been two months since Trump said "Anyone who wants a test will get a test." It was a lie then and it is still a lie two months later. When Trump said he could murder someone on 5th avenue and not lose any support amongst his base, this is literally that on a grand scale.

Lockdown doesn't end because we put in the time, it ends because we put in the work, and the Trump administration has never had a clue how to put in the work. It's as if they've never been faced with a problem that spin and self-promotion couldn't solve and it shows.

Here's a more recent one:

Just to have a serious response. I looked at the numbers. There's a pretty much even split along party lines about each question that is almost the exact same percent.

Reply about fake news:
You can call it what you want. Its news that is factually incorrect or spun so far left it is no longer recognizable as the truth.
It deceives people into hating Trump. Worse it takes away credibility from these news organizations so that when they do report the truth about something bad about Trump no one believes it.
For instance if the mainstream news were to report that Trump signed a ton of pork legislation into law, most people would not believe it. I myself would have to check their facts just to be sure.
It isn't hurting Trump as bad as they think, but what it is doing is waking people up to the manipulation of the media.

lol... NPR, they are about as far left as you can get. I listen to them on occasion. They are up there with CNN for fake news.
