Fake News Isn’t New To Us
The “fake news” slur backfired so badly because people started pointing out that the actual fake news was coming from the official news outlets. It got so bad that Trump, in calling out CNN at his press conference, refused to call on the CNN representative there-”no, you can’t ask a question-you’re fake news.” The rest of the journalists laugh-they know what’s up.
Here’s a prime example from Washington Post (Jeff Bezos’ blog). They’re “reporting” on an illegally built Israeli Bedouin village being demolished. One of the Bedouins got in a truck and ran over some cops before getting shot.
Naturally, the other Bedouins all said “he was a good boy, he didn’t do nothing, he was a math teacher, he was just driving along and the Israeli cops started shooting at his truck and then he lost control and hit one of them.” The Israeli police released an aerial video showing him purposely driving over cops, speeding up as he approached.
In case they change it later, the headline in the Washington Post reads:”Israeli Arab, policeman killed amid clashes over demolitions”
